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:

1. Open the Site Administrator Home page.

2. In the IIS FTP Service area, click Manage Virtual Directories.

3. Click Add Virtual Directory. The Create Virtual Directory form is displayed.

4. On the Create Virtual Directory page, provide the following information:

5. Enter a name in the Virtual Directory Name text box.

6. Enter a name in the Home Directory (for example, c:\inetpub\ftproot) text box, which should be in the domain file system and relative to your FTP folder.

7. Check the Read box to provide read access. This allows users to download files.

8. Check the Write box to provide write access. This allows users to upload files.

5. Click Add. The FTP virtual directory is added and is displayed on the Manage Virtual Directories page.
