How do I create a folder?

Please note that the terms 'folder' and 'virtual directory' really mean the same thing. From the main menu, use:

  • Manage tab
  • Setup folders tab
  • Name the folder (for example, pictures)
  • Select any file in the folder which is to become a virtual directory. Or simply enter the complete path to the directory including the trailing backslash character (e.g., c:\my documents\my pictures\).
  • Press the Add virtual directory button

    The virtual directory should now appear under the Folders tab.

    How do I create an uploads folder to let users upload files to me?

    From the main menu, use:

  • Manage tab
  • Setup folders tab
  • Name the folder uploads
  • Select any file in the folder which is to become the uploads folder. Or simply enter the complete path to the directory including the trailing backslash character (e.g., c:\my documents\my pictures\).
  • Press the Add virtual directory button

    Users should now be able to upload files to your PC by pressing the Upload button from the Folders tab.

    What is a virtual directory?

    A virtual directory appears to be a folder when surfing to a server but actually refers to a different area of the hard disk or local network. For instance, BadBlue might be installed to:

    c:\program files\badblue\pe\

    but there might be a folder containing existing HTML at:

    g:\documents\my pictures\

    BadBlue allows you to create a virtual directory with a specific name (say, pics) that refers to the existing folder. A user can then surf to your machine and reference the virtual directory through the name you have assigned, e.g.,

    http://1.2.3.4/pics/index.htm
