Aliases

Aliases are a very popular, although tricky, way how to organize files and folders of your FTP site. Using aliases in your FTP site is recommended and can be very useful. With right setting of aliases you can achieve better clarity and security of your server. After reading this see also Hints chapter in documentation.

This feature lets you to define different paths for a particular folder. A user who accesses a folder in his FTP account site will access this folder but actually, he will be redirected to read a completely different one.

You can use both absolute and relative paths in the format shown on the image above.

Also you can use all path variables ($$homedir$$, $$username$$, $$groupname$$, $$domain$$, $$email$$ (the last two only in case you are system integrated)) when setting aliases. This can come extremely handy. Read more about path variables in FTP documentation section Hints.
