<H1>Gopher Directory Properties</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Configure the gopher service directories by using this dialog
|
|
box. Press the <B>Add</B> button on the <B>Directories</B> property
|
|
sheet to set up new directories.
|
|
<H3>Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Sets the path to the directory to use for the gopher service.
|
|
<H3>Browse button</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Use to select the directory to use for the gopher service.
|
|
<H3>Home Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Choose this to specify the root directory for the gopher service.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Peer Web Services provides a default home directory, Gophroot,
|
|
for the gopher service. The files that you place in the gopher
|
|
home directory, and its subdirectories, are available to remote
|
|
browsers. You can change the location of the default home directory.
|
|
|
|
<H3>Virtual Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Choose this to specify a subdirectory for the gopher service.
|
|
Enter the directory name or "alias" that service users
|
|
will use.
|
|
<P>
|
|
These directories are accessed using the alias in the Uniform
|
|
Resource Locator (URL) as if the alias were a subdirectory of
|
|
the home directory. That is, you can publish from other directories
|
|
and have those directories accessible from within the home directory.
|
|
Such directories are called "virtual directories."
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that virtual directories will not appear in gopher directory
|
|
listings; you must create explict links in tag files in order
|
|
for users to access virtual directories. Users can also type in
|
|
the URL if they know the alias for the virtual directory; however,
|
|
they must precede the alias name with "11/". For example,
|
|
to access the virtual directory "books" from your gopher
|
|
server which is named gopher.company.com, you would use the following
|
|
URL:
|
|
<P>
|
|
gopher://gopher.company.com/11/books
|
|
<P>
|
|
The administrator can specify the physical location of the virtual
|
|
directory and the virtual name (alias), which is the directory
|
|
name used by remote browsers.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The published directories can be located on local or network drives.
|
|
If the virtual directory is a network drive, provide the user
|
|
name and password with access to that network drive. Virtual directories
|
|
on network drives must be on computers in the same Windows NT
|
|
domain as the computer running Peer Web Services.
|
|
<H3>Account Information</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
This box is active only if the Directory specifed in the first
|
|
line of this dialog box is a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
|
|
server and share name, for example, \WebserverHtmlfiles. Enter
|
|
the user name and password that has permission to use the network
|
|
directory. Virtual directories on network drives must be on computers
|
|
in the same Windows NT domain as the computer running Peer Web
|
|
Services.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>Important </B>If you specify a user name and password to connect
|
|
to a network drive, all Peer Web Services access to that directory
|
|
will use that user name and password. You should use care when
|
|
using UNC connections to network drives to prevent possible security
|
|
breaches.
