SYMPTOMS
When you use your FTP client, you are unable to see virtual
directories created in Internet Server Manager for the FTP service
even though you have permissions to access the directory.
CAUSEInternet Information Server (IIS) does not have this capability at this time. WORKAROUND
A work around is to create a physical directory with the same name
in the location of the virtual directory so the FTP client can see
the name.
From a WWW BrowserInclude the virtual directory name in the URL:ftp://myftpserver/mydirectory/ From a Standard FTP ClientEven though the directories can not be seen, you can explicitly "cd" to the virtual directory name. For example:
The forward slash is necessary, otherwise "cd" tries to change directory from within the current directory the client is in. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
