An Internet Information Server directory outside the home directory. A virtual directory appears to browsers as a subdirectory of the home directory.
A virtual directory is one that is not contained in the home directory but appears to client browsers as though it were. For example, the directory that contains the GIF images for e.Order products must be set up as a virtual directory so that both customers and store management have access to it.
A directory outside the home directory that appears to browsers as a subdirectory of the home directory. For any of the three services (WWW, Gopher or FTP), you can configure a virtual directory by using the Directories property sheet in Internet Service Manager.
a directory located elsewhere on a local drive that appears to web users as a subdirectory of the site's home directory
a directory mapping that lets the Web Server see your directory beneath the Web root even if that directory is not located immediately underneath your Web root path
a directory name that can be used in an URL for accessing files under the directory
a directory name that user can use in the URL to access web documents
a directory name that you specify in IIS and map to a physical directory on a local or remote server
a directory or folder on a server that is not in the actual server directory structure
a directory service (primiarly LDAP interface, though in theory other protocols like DSML or another Web Service could be used) that is unique in that it doesn't hold data in its own storage system like a traditional directory server
a folder name, used in an address, which corresponds to a physical directory on the Web server or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) location
a friendly name, or alias, either for a physical directory on your server hard disk that does not usually reside under the FTP site's home directory
a friendly name, or alias, either for a physical directory on your server hard drive that does not reside in the home directory, or for the home directory on another computer
an alias for a real file directory
a shared resource that is identified by an alias that represents a physical location on a server
a URL path that corresponds to an actual physical directory on the hard drive
Acts as a layer of indirection between the addresses that users enter and the physical folder structure of a Web site. The physical mapping identifies where IIS retrieves content when clients request the alias.
A directory name, used in an address, that corresponds to a physical directory on the server
A named collection of files and sub-virtual directories available from a Web server. The virtual directory name is part of the URL and is usually based on a physical directory. For example, output is a virtual directory in the URL http://www.myorg.org/output/someimage.gif since within it is contained a file, someimage.gif.
Directory name that points or refer to physical location of directory on server.
A virtual directory is a server for a directory protocol such as LDAP, but unlike a traditional directory server, does not master the data itself in its own database. Instead a virtual directory will dynamically translate requests it receives to operations in other protocols or data models, such as to a relational database.
