Thanks David I'm using vers 3.14 I had skimmed over the $virtual aspects in the manual but havn't concentrated on them yet. I've been wrapped up in the 'earlier' parts of setting up - like discovering that I needed 'SYSTEM' in my share permissions etc. to allow uploads. Have just started to move on. Will now head in the $virtual direction. Thanks for the example.
