Changing Virtual Folder Properties

Changing Virtual Folder Properties

To view or change virtual folder properties:

In the left pane, expand the FTP host, and select Virtual Folders. The virtual folder list appears in the right pane.
Select the virtual folder and click Edit. The Virtual Folder properties dialog appears.
The Name box shows the folder name. To change the folder name, in the left pane, right-click the name, select Rename from the right-mouse menu, and enter the new name.
In the Destination box, enter the path of the directory for which you are creating a virtual folder. Use the Browse button to search your directories for the path.

Note: If you want to create a virtual folder that references a folder on the local network, you must either: - Run WS_FTP Server under a user account that has Windows NT permissions for that folder. - Use the NT User Database with NT file and directory permissions. In this case, the user must have access to the network path.

To have virtual folders appear in user's home folders, select the Include in user home folder listing option. When this option is selected, Do not include in top-level directory listing will also be enabled.
You can increase security by selecting either Viewable only with 40-bit SSL or higher or Viewable only with 128-bit SSL or higher. Clients that do not have SSL enabled will not be able to view the folder when this option is selected.
Click OK to save your changes.
