Creating an alias

[EnglishRob]

Hi folks,

I'm having a bit of a problem with setting up FileZilla server. I'm trying to share every drive on the machine so they can be accessed from the FTP server.

The home drive is set to C:\

I have also added drives A:\, B:\ and D:\ to Z:\

I have tried setting up the aliases for the other drives as /a, /b, etc etc but when I login I can only see the C:\ drive and not the aliases to a, c, d etc...

I'm not sure if I'm doing things wrong, I'm a newbie to FileZilla server and the only other time I have used it was on XBOX Media Center and that was already pre-configured.

Below is a copy of my FileZillaServer.xml files (with usernames and passwords removed of course )

Code: Select all

First off, AFAIK, you cannot make removable drives accessible in FZS (CD_ROMs 'might' be possible -- never tried it, but definitely not floppy drives).

With that said, here's how to do everything else:

• * Create a directory called something like 'ftproot'
  
  * Make 'ftproot' the home directory for your users/groups
  
  * Create Windows shortcuts to all of your drives (eg. C-Drive.lnk, etc.)
  
  * Place the above shortcuts into 'ftproot' (tip: you can name these shortcuts to your liking)
  
  * Add the applicable access rights to the physical paths to your drives for your users/groups
  
  * Make sure the "Resolve windows shortcuts (*.lnk files)" option is selected

With a little luck, you might be able to access your removable drives.

You have to enter the complete physical target path for the aliases.

So to A:\ add the alias c:\putmyaliasesinthisfolder\A
just /a as alias won't work.
