Can anybody tell me exactly wats a virtual directory and how it can be used in the ftp service..or any of its benifits???

Sorry for the HUGE url but check here....
Basically its a fuzzy user friendly header for another folder or location.
IE: \\servername\cheese rather than \\servername\C$\Home\Food\CheeseFoolproof systems don't take into account the ingenuity of fools -

In short, a Virtual Directory is a directory that shows up in a web site url or an ftp directory that is mapped to a specific place on the server's hard drive.

Virtual Directories also play a significant role in FTP server. They can serve as "home folder locations" for user logons.VCDX3 #34, VCDX4, VCDX5, VCAP4-DCA #14, VCAP4-DCD #35, VCAP5-DCD, VCPx4, vEXPERTx4, MCSEx3, MCSAx2, MCP, CCAx2, A+
