Topic: Ibays

[Dan Elkins]

I need to map a drive to an Ibay on a Win9X machine directly to a fresh dir.  On my Win2K machine I can do this by mapping a drive to \e-smith\ibay\files, but on my Win9X machine I can only map a drive directly to the share \e-smith\ibay.  Is there a way to get rid of the cgi, files, and html directory and do a chmod on the actual root ibay directory to give write permisions to the root ibay dir?  If this is done can it (will it) screw up anything?

Does anybody have a solution?

I figured it out.  I created a custom template and changed the samba share to point to the files dir.

Can you describe your custom template modification? I would also like to map to an i-bay subdirectory, or else be able to have i-bays without the pre-set "files," "cgi", and "html" subdirectories. Haven't been able to decipher the templates to do it, though.

Thanks,
