Using the Hosting Control Center, you can create, edit, and customize permissions for virtual directories on your Web site.
To Create a Virtual Directory
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
- In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the IIS Settings icon.
- To create a new directory, select the parent directory and click Create.
- Enter the directory name. To create multiple directories, enter a comma-delimited list.
- Select directory permissions, and then click Ok.
NOTE TO FRONTPAGE USERS: Microsoft FrontPage manages all of the directory and subdirectory permissions on your Web site. If you created custom directories on your Web site, or you are using another tool to build and or manage your Web site, switching to FrontPage may cause some problems. It can overwrite all of your directory permissions and render your site unusable.
