The following article explains how to create a virtual directory
within IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0. A virtual directory provides web access
to a folder that is located outside of the home directory. Use
caution when creating a virtual directory, since it provides access
to resources outside of a domain name.
To create a virtual directory in IIS, please follow these
steps:
- Log into your server through Terminal Services or Remote
Desktop Connection.
- Click Start, select Programs,
and then click Administrative Tools.
- For IIS 5.0 click Internet Services
Manager.
- For IIS 6.0 click Internet Information
Services.
- In the left column you will see the Server Name.
- In IIS 5.0, expand the Server Name to find the
domain name.
- In IIS 6.0, expand the Server Name and then
Web Sites to find the domain name.
- Right-click on the domain name and select New
and then Virtual Directory.
- Click Next to begin the Wizard.
- Enter the virtual directory name as the Alias.
- Enter the path to the directory you are
linking to.
- Set the permissions for the virtual directory:
- Read: allows the virtual directory to be
visible through a web browser
- Run Scripts: allows scripts such as ASP and
ASP.Net to be run
- Execute: allows .exe and .dll files to be run
(we recommend not checking this option)
- Write: allows certain browsers to write to
files in your website (we recommend not checking this option)
- Browse: if there is no index page, this option
will display a listing of all the pages in your folder (we
recommend not checking this option)
- Click Finish.
