In IIS I created a virtual directory under a website and also under the
corresponding FTP site.  However, when I ftp into the site, I cannot see the
virtual directory although I can see a real directory.  The Virtual
directory is in the root of the drive and the website/FTP site is under
\wwwroot.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanx,

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?
