Create a Virtual Directory named 'admin' that points to d:\root\log\2005.
Log in via ftp as admin

the only point that your customer will have to understand is that if (when?)
they issue a pwd command, the ftp server will respond with /admin and not
/log/2005.

oh, and the 'admin' virtual directory will not show up in 'ls' output from
the root of the ftp server.

Thanks,
