Adding an FTP Virtual Directory
A virtual directory is created to publish from any directory not contained within your home directory. A virtual directory is a directory that is not contained in the home directory but is displayed to client browsers as though it were.
To add an FTP virtual directory:
- Open the Site Administrator Home page.
- In the IIS FTP Service area, click Manage Virtual Directories.
- Click Add Virtual Directory. The Create Virtual Directory form is displayed.
- On the Create Virtual Directory page, provide the following information:
- Enter a name in the Virtual Directory Name text box.
- Enter a name in the (for example,
c:\inetpub\ftproot
) text box, which should be in the domain file system and relative to your FTP folder. - Check the Read box to provide read access. This allows users to download files.
- Check the Write box to provide write access. This allows users to upload files.
- Click Add. The FTP virtual directory is added and is displayed on the Manage Virtual Directories page.
