Im assuming you want to create a Virtual path to let the server follow
to the root , all you do is setup an Aliases to point to that path , a
small example on how to do this is in a screenshot below this msg.

Your misunderstanding...

find the path to the folder you want to give access to the webserver, example....

c:\myfolder\myaudio\thefoldeIwanttoshare

you enter the above in the REAL box as this is the pPHYSICAL PATH to the folder that your givin access to.

Then you need to put a '/' followed by a name in the Alias box like /theCoverNameIuse

then you access the content by using a relative path to the wbe root.

A relative path is something like /theCoverNameIuse/theFileIlinkTo.m3 or this can be accessed by an external reference which is just your IP address infront of the /theCoverNameIuse.

The directory is visible through the web server and if you include a index.html page you can add the content to a HTML page rather than looking at a webservers directory.

I don't think you understand what an Aliases is , its basicly something that allows you to
create extra paths within your server without creating a directory in your htdocs, you can
specify any folder outside of the web root and it will become live on the web without it
being a local directory. You should now understand what an Aliases is , its a cool feature.

Basicly when you setup an Aliases to your music folder outside of your website
documents directory , the server will create a virtual path to your music files
and they will be downloadable. Pretty cool isn't it lol , hope that helps :)
