Re: How to use a Virtual Directory

One of the IIS Strange Features

Say your FTP Root is

c:\inetpub\ftpsites\mysite
Virtual Directory "Test" points to "c:\inetpub\TEST"

What you need to do is create a physical directory in
"c:\inetpub\ftpsites\mysite" called "test" so you end up with
"c:\inetpub\ftpsites\mysite\test"

You will then see the directory "Test" when you log onto the ftp site and
when you change to the folder "test" the content will come from the virtual
directory!

Strange ah?
