Im having one of those days... blaming the alcohol consumed over the weekend...

Filezilla FTP Server aliases - driving me up the wall.

I have C:\ftp\ setup as the home dir - using FTP, can see that folder fine and its contents, no hassle there.

But I want to add some other folders and drives to that "home".

Ive followed the information Ive found regarding using an alias to allow this but keep hitting one of two walls.

1) Add alias and get the error "At least one alias is not a full virtual path: C:/FTP/Files"    - this is for an entry for my F: drive.
2) Add alias, connect via FTP, cant see the alias path - yet if I type it in manually, it takes me to a folder but shows no contents.

So lets assume I want to share my MP3 folder which is F:\MP3\



What am i missing.....

(grumble) Found the solution.....

NOONE on any of the other sites i viewed to help with this issue mentioned I'd need to put a "/" at the start of the alias - they just assume you're a *nix guru and know that the Windows version needs it.......
