== Folder Aliases == I move that the FAQ on folder aliases be reworded to say instead of "Let's assume the server's home directory is set to C:\ftproot and you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures available as /pictures. Add D:\mypictures to the list of shared folders and select its entry. Next add /pictures in the alias column. Now the server will display the virtual directory pictures right in the root directory and its contents will be those of D:\mypictures. " it say "Let's assume the servers home directory is set to C:\ftproot and you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures appear in the home directory. Add D:\mypictures to the list of shared folders as you would normally. Now double left click on the space to the right under 'Aliases' or right click and select 'Edit Aliases'. In the window provided enter the name you would like, in this case "mypictures" assuming there is not another folder of the same name in C:\ftproot, IMPORTANT- you must put a '/' before the alias name you are typing otherwise it will not turn up in a FTP client. The folder contents of D:\mypictures will now be displayed in the home directory under the folder name 'mypictures'." The reason for changing from D:\mypictures available as /pictures is not explained in the faq, which was confusing to me at first as i was trying to use '|' or "the pipe character" as I was trying to share multiple folders from the same drive to the home drive. I would like to also write a small section about how to use the "pipe character" but i will see how my suggestion is taken first.. How do you setup a folder alias to a network path? Say Directory: //SomeMachine/SomeFolder Alias: /Remote?
