The RAIDEN FTP SERVER example

how to setup today's dir link with virtual file system

 

Q : when you want to add a "/Today" directory linking to the C:\incoming\0723 (while 0723 is today's date string) dir in RAIDEN FTP SERVER , how can you make it ?

You can simply add this line to the *.vfs file of your *.ftpd file

c:\incoming\%y| /Today|username|group|755|r

now we'll do some explaination , the seperator is '|' so we'll ignore it , the first element is c:\incoming\%y , and it represents the full path of today's directory , however the %y will be replaced by the today's date string while the user logs in .

other important notes

#1. you must have the physical dir c:\incoming\0723 presented , if you want the user to be able to list in the directory

#2. you must create an empty directory called /Today under your ftpd root directory , ex : c:\FtpdRoot\Today , if your ftpd root directory is c:\FtpdRoot

#3. for the variables you can use in the *.vfs text file , check this list
