Adding a Virtual Folder


A virtual folder name is an alias for the real folder, thus it can have any name - it does not, and should not have to be the same name as the folder to which it references.

To add a new virtual folder to an FTP host:

  1. In the left pane, expand the FTP host, and then select Virtual Folders. The virtual folder list appears in the right pane.
  2. Click Add. The first screen of the New Folder wizard appears.

  3. Enter a name for this "virtual" folder and click Next to continue.

  4. Enter the local directory for which you are creating a virtual folder and click Next to continue. The path must contain the drive letter to be a valid path.

    Example: E:\WS_FTP\Folder

  5. Click Finish to create the new folder.

All new virtual folders, by default, grant list and read permissions to a special user group called everyone (which includes all users and anonymous users). To view or change permissions for the virtual folder, see "Granting Permissions for FTP Folders" below.
