Using FTPDirectory

Overview

FTPDirectory is a Windows command-line utility used to change the home directory of the FTP server.
You don't need to restart the FTP server for the change to take effect.

Installation

Simply copy the FTPDirectory folder to any convenient location.

Configuration

FTPDirectory is normally used from a windows shortcut.

Create the shortcut by right-click dragging the FTPDirectory.vbs script file icon to the desktop and selecting Create Shortcut Here from the pop-up menu.

Next, change the name of the shortcut file to reflect your intended usage, e.g. Set My FTP Directory to Erglarb. As you probably know, no file extension is needed on shortcut files.

Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties. The path to the FTPDirectory.vbs script will already be correct. In the Target: box, append the path to your desired FTP home directory.

In the example shown below, the shortcut is configured to set the FTP home directory to "C:\Erglarb"

Shortcut properties

Once you have create one shortcut file as described above, you can duplicate this file to make others. Simply select an existing shortcut and type <control>C <control>V to create a "Copy of..." file. Rename the file and right-click to set the properties so it refers to some other FTP home directory.

Running the program

Just double-click on the shortcut you fool.
