FTP Isolated - no virtual directory?


FTP Isolated - no virtual directory? rg

iis ftp:
Howdy!

I need to create virtual folders under isolated mode FTP server (IIS 6). MMC
does not show ANY folders under the isolate root folder!

Thanks!

IIS 6.0 MMC will not permit you to create a virtual folder. Nor does it show
any folders that may already exist. It appears that for isolated mode FTP
site, MMC or IIS 6.0 completely ignore the file system.

I had to use LINKD to accomplish what was needed, but I don't like the idea
that someone could come along in explorer and think these folders actually
exist. I want to use FTP virtual folders for this.

Thanks!

Tough to know what you're asking here. Have you created a virtual
folder?

have you try right mouse on the site and select new - virtual directory ?

Since you can't change isolation mode after you create the site, MMC doesn't
seem to bother to show you what you set up should you forget. I saved the
configuration to an XML file wherein I found this:
UserIsolationMode="1"

But when I right-click I don't get the menu that creates Virtual Folders.
Works fine in non-isolated sites, so I assumed it was some kind of
brain-dead restriction. If you can tell me there is no such restriction,
I'll have to dig deeper, maybe reinstall the IIS MMC plugins?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot!

I'll have to fix my installation.

I can't repro on my IIS 6, I have tested 3 different types of isolation and
I'm able to create virtual directory.
