The WWW Directories property sheet sets directories and directory behavior for the WWW service.
Lists the directories used by the WWW service.
Directory Lists the path of directories used by the WWW service.
Alias Shows the path used for virtual directories.
Address Lists the Interet Protocol (IP) address using that directory.
Error Indicates system errors, such as difficulty reading a directory.
To set up a directory, press the Add button or select a directory in the Directories listing box and press the Edit button. The Remove button removes the directories that you select.
The Default Document and Directory Browsing settings in the Directories property sheet for the WWW service are used to set up default displays that will appear if a remote user does not specify a particular file. Directory browsing means that the user is presented with a hypertext listing of the directories and files so that the user can navigate through your directory structure.
You can place a default document in each directory so that when a remote user does not specify a particular file, the default document in that directory is displayed. A hypertext directory listing is sent to the user if directory browsing is enabled and no default document is in the specified directory.
Note that virtual directories will not appear in directory listings; users must know a virtual directory's alias and type in its Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address, or click a link in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) page, to access virtual directories.
