Managing Folders and Files

Folder management for the remote (FTP or SSH) file system is mainly done through standard methods of managing folders on the operating system. With Windows Explorer, you can find the top folder of a host (for example C:\Program Files\Progress\WS_FTP Server\MyHost) and create , rename, or delete folders under that host. For security reasons, you cannot manage physical folders remotely using WS_FTP Server Manager. You must log on to the server directly.

You can, however, manage virtual folders and folder permissions for all folders via WS_FTP Server Manager.
