accessing folder outside the web folder(virtual directory)

[vips]

I have an image folder which need to be place outside the root of my web
folder.
but still I need to pull the images using relative path to display on my
website ...

how should I do this ??

How can I set the virtual path for the image files in the folder outside my
root web folder ?

I need it so that client can access the image folder manually as well as
using my web application.

any solution ?

Create a virtual directory pointing to the folder. The wizard will help
you.

Not sure i follow this. What is a virtual path? Where do you set this
"virtual path"?

You can create a virtual directory. i.e. if your document root is
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ and then images directory is c:\images then you can
create a "virtual directory" in IIS called "images" and then point it to
c:\images. Remember to add iusr_xxx account to this c:]images directory. Now
you can use <img src="/images/..."> wiin your web site.
