Add a Virtual Folder

A Virtual folder is a folder that links to another real folder in the MOVEit folder tree, allowing a user to see the contents of the target folder in a different location.

You must have administrative permissions on the target folder, and Subs permissions in the folder where the virtual folder is created.

• To add a virtual folder:
  1. In the left pane, click FOLDERS. In the workspace, under the table of folders, click Add Virtual. The Add New Virtual folder page opens.
  2. Provide the following information and then click Add Virtual Folder.
     • Name: A name for the virtual folder.
     • Permissions: Inheritance options. These are the same as for a normal folder. For more information, see Add a Folder.
     • Target: This field lists the available folders (for the current user, based on permissions). Select the target for the virtual folder.
     • The contents of the target folder appear in the folder tree under the virtual folder name. If the current user is an admin user, the virtual folder contains a link to the target folder. Navigation of the target folder and any subfolders is relative to the virtual path.
