Q
How can I share multiple drives in FileZilla?
A
Let's assume the server's home directory is set to C:\ftproot and you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures available as /pictures. Add D:\mypictures and select its entry. Next add /pictures in the alias column. Now the server will display D:\mypictures
