Changing a Site's Root Folder
The Site root folder is specified when you create a new Site; however, you can later change a Site’s root folder.
If you change a Site's root folder, all previously configured user and Group folder permissions related to that Site are deleted. You will have to redefine the permissions.
To change the Site root folder
-
In the administration interface, connect to EFT and click the Server tab.
-
On the Server tab, click the Site you want to configure.
-
In the right pane, click the General tab.
-
Next to the Site root folder box, click the folder icon
to
specify a new Site root folder. (The path must be a physical folder,
not a virtual folder; using the folder icon to browse for a path is
recommended over typing the path.) -
Click Apply to save the changes on EFT.
Because of a limitation of the HTTP protocol, when a connection is established using HTTP, the client (e.g., a Web browser) shows the root folder, not the user's home folder.
