Default Web Site access to wwwroot folder
In IIS, I have the Default Web Site pointing to the directory c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/App1. I want to keep it that way. However, when I type in the machine's IP in a browser from an external computer, there's a list of files and directories in the c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/App1 folder, and I also want access to the directories and files in c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/. How can I accomplish this?

Create Virtual Directories under the default site that map to the other directories you want to view.

In addition, you may need to grant the IIS user account permissions to the folder (normally IUSR_computername)

Thanks. I just did that, and set the IUSR security permissions. However, the folder is still not visible when I access the site on the browser. Is there anything else that I may be missing?

You will need to create a new site and set the host header to be blank.
On your current site set the host header to be the domain name.

This means that when you use a domain name you will goto c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/App1 but if you use the IP (no host header) you will goto c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/

If you are using XP then you can only have one site so you cannot do this. You could go the virtual folder way as stated previously.

I've gotten it taken care of. I realized I can access the other folders in wwwroot, even if it's not listed in the directory listing. Thanks for the help.
