Is it possible to point multiple physical paths to a single virtual
path?
I'm using Serv-U 10.5.

As far as I know and have tested with previous versions, no..
You can make dirs from other drives appear as dirs under the same
login (for example c:\data and d:\data can appear as /data1 and /
data2 dirs)
but a joined dir like c:\data + d:\data under one /data is not
possible. It makes sense that it isnt since the filenames would become
weird and they would need to be handled in special ways.
Example: c:\data has a file called readme.txt and d:\data has a file
called readme.txt then the only proper option would be to if I list
the ftp dir that I would see two readme.txt files. But now the issue,
suppose I want to download one, then how do I get that done? How do I
know which one is being used?
The same goes for uploading a file, if I upload image.jpg does it get
uplaoded to c:\data or to d:\data ?
In version 10 (I havent checked 10.5) this was not possible...
