Full Version: FTP virtual directories are hidden?
The Planet Forums > Operating Systems > Microsoft Windows

On my server, more than one user may need FTP access to the same site. The way I always set it up under Linux was to mount the web site folder as a subfolder of each of the relevant users' home directories.

I thought the way to do this in IIS would be to create a virtual directory in the users' folder which referenced the web site directory. This works great, apart from it is hidden to the user when he logs in via ftp - he actually has to know that its there and type in the name of it. Is there any way to make this visible? Or is there a better way to do this (shortcuts just show up as a .lnk file)?

Thanks,
James.

Ah - found the solution. You just create an empty physical directory with the same name as the virtual one! Simple when you know how icon_smile.gif
