HELP NEED: Virtual Directory In IIS FTP server is invisible to FTP client

Hi,

I setup a IIS FTP server and want to publish several direcotries to
public and then I used the Virtual Directory feature to map several actual
directories to Virtual Directory.

I tried to use DOS' ftp or WS_FTP or ftp://ftp.mysites.net/ to log in as
anonymous user. The connection and login processes between ftp client and
server was sucessful. However, those Virtual Directories were invisible and
in order to get into those diretory, I needed to enter the Virtual
Directories name. Is this probblem can be solved by setting someting that I
did not know?

Please help me to solve this problem. Many thanks in advance~

This is normal. MS IIS Services does not generate a directory structure
that provides links to virtual directories. If you want to navigate
directories you must create real directories in you ftproot. If you do not
want to do this on your C: drive, set your ftp root to the location of the
files you want to share. You can protect files and directories by using
permission attributes.
