Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
When I create a virtual directory in my FTP server, it doesn't show up in
clients, neither with Explorer or command-line FTP; howewer, if using the
full path (i.e. ftp://ftp.mydomain.com/myvirtualdir) it can be accessed. I'm
using IIS 6, but this has been the same for IIS 5.
How can I make virtual directories show up ? Or is this impossible at all ?

Thanks

Massimo

I know the dirs will show, if I make them real ones Smile
But what I want to know is if there is any way to make *virtual* dirs
visible to clients...

No that's not what I mean. I mean if u create the Vroot
on an FTP server which points to the folder that is a
subfoler of the home vroot folder. Users who join to ur
Vroot should browse all Vroot on ur FTP server.

I'm not following you here... can you explain this a bit more, please ?

A work around is to create a physical directory with the
same name in the location of the virtual directory so the
FTP client can see the name.

/ --> c:\inetpub\ftproot
/sample --> d:\ftpvdir

If you create the directory c:\inetpub\ftproot\sample,
the FTP client will see that directory in directory
listings. The FTP client will only be able to
see/retrieve files located in d:\ftpvdir. If any files
are placed in c:\inetpub\ftproot\sample, the FTP client
will not see them or be able to retrieve them.

You can also create a virtual directory for the FTP
service from the Directories tab in the FTP Service
Properties by choosing Add. Select the directory and type
in an alias. The virtual directory alias is used to
change to the directory.

The way you change to the directory varies slightly
depending on if you use a web browser or standard FTP
client to access the FTP server.

Even though the directories can not be seen, you can
explicitly "cd" to the virtual directory name. For
example:
cd /mydirectory
   

The forward slash is necessary, otherwise "cd" tries to
change directory from within the current directory the
client is in.

Hope that can help u ...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Nice trick... I'll give it a try.
Howewer, I'm still wondering why IIS doesn't show virtual directories when
listing contents...

Where are this "Directories" tab and this "Add" you're talking of ? I can't
find them anywhere...

Yes, I know this. I can use vdirs without problems. I just want my users to
be able to *see* them...
