Virtual Workspace access, for FTP client user accounts; see

Groups on the File Gateway Server” on page 26

Creating FTP Sites (Virtual Directories)

sites for the workspaces you want to share. How you start the FTP Site Creation Wizard varies
depending on the operating system.
To create FTP sites on Windows Storage Server 2008 R2:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage. The Server Manager window opens.
2. Expand Roles.
3. Expand Web Server (IIS).
