File Aliasing


Use this page to specify the pathname mapping rules Jeeves uses to locate files. Jeeves uses these rules to map the alias pathname specified in a URL to a full pathname on the system where the server is installed. For example, suppose you are developing a set of web pages, and you want a quick way to access those pages without entering a long URL. If Jeeves is running on the machine named "plastic," and your user name is "barbie," and the real URL is:

	http://plastic:8080/~barbie/dev/proj3/nov96/alpha/index.html
you can use this shortcut:
	http://plastic:8080/shortcut/index.html
by creating a file alias as follows:

Alias pathname: /~barbie/dev/proj3/nov96/alpha
Full pathname: /shortcut

To add a file alias:

  1. Enter the alias path.
  2. Enter the real path.
  3. Click Add.

To delete an alias:

  1. Select the alias.
  2. Click Delete.

To edit an entry: Select the entry, delete it, and re-enter it.
