You can do this, but there are two issues...

When the speck directory and the application root directory are within
the same parent, Speck can derive a mapping to use when calling the tags
that are part of the application. If you can't put the speck directory
within the same parent as the application directory, you'll need to add
a mapping setting to your application configuration file. The mapping is
a logical path to the physical tags directory within the speck
application. You may already have a mapping that points to the ftp root
above, if you do, then just add the mapping setting as
/mapping-to-ftp-root>/tags

Speck assumes that the public web root of the application is in a
directory named www. You can either modify the helm configuration to use
www as the public web root (I don't know how possible this is) or create
a symlink called www that points to your wwwroot directory (I've done
the symlink thing before with directadmin and it worked a treat).

As far as I know, helm is a windows thing, so creating a symlink could
be tricky depending on how much access you have to your server and/or
how helpful your hosting company are. Windows does actually support
symbolic links, but it doesn't come with any tools to create them. If
you can, just download the junction command line tool and run "junction
wwwroot www"
