SUMMARY
If your computer is running FrontPage Personal Web Server, you may want to create an alias to another folder (directory) or drive. Creating an alias to another folder or drive allows remote clients to browse documents at various locations as though these documents were FrontPage Webs.



MORE INFORMATION
To create an alias to a folder, to a CD-ROM drive, or to a network drive, use any of the following methods.

Method 1: Create an alias to a folder
 In a text editor such as Notepad, open the Srm.cnf file.

NOTE: This file is usually found in C:\Vermeer\Httpd\Conf for FrontPage version 1.0 and in C:\FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf for FrontPage versions 1.1 and 97. In the Srm.cnf file, type:

Alias /name/ c:/folder/



Method 2: Create an alias to the root directory of a CD-ROM drive
 In a text editor such as Notepad, open the Srm.cnf file.

NOTE: This file is usually found in C:\Vermeer\Httpd\Conf for FrontPage version 1.0 and in C:\FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf for FrontPage, versions 1.1 and 97. In the Srm.cnf file, type:

Alias /cdrom/ d:/./



Method 3: Create an alias to a network drive or share
 In a text editor such as Notepad, open the Srm.cnf file.

NOTE: This file is usually found in C:\Vermeer\Httpd\Conf for FrontPage version 1.0 and in C:\FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf for FrontPage, versions 1.1 and 97.</li> In the Srm.cnf file, type:

Alias /name/ //server/share/

</li></ol>
