📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user virtualization of Windows 11 on FreeBSD using bhyve, where they have enabled IIS and passed through a USB disk containing files. The main goal is to change the IIS default web root from the standard directory to a folder on an external disk (E:\Backups) to facilitate easier access to large files that cannot be transferred directly to the VM. A subsequent reply clarifies that IIS Express isn't suitable for this purpose, as it is intended only for testing code, implying the need for a full IIS setup for such configurations. The overall sentiment indicates an attempt to modify server settings to handle large web content effectively, with clarifications on appropriate IIS versions necessary for the task.

Hello to everyone.

I've virtualized Windows 11 with bhyve on FreeBSD 13R and inside the VM I enabled IIS. So,let's say that the IP address of the VM is : Link Removed,I can reach this IP web address outside of the VM,while I'm running FreeBSD. In addition,I've passed through my USB 3 disk with bhyve and actually it is present inside the VM. What I want to do now is to change the default folder where are stored the files of the web server,that's :

c:\inetpub\wwwroot

into this folder :

E:\Backups

this is the disk where I have stored all the files I need. In other terms, I want to share these files with FreeBSD. Later I will downloaded them from : Link Removed and I will save them to another disk. I can't copy the files I need to c:\inetpub\wwwroot , because those files are bigger than the size of the VM. Any help is appreciated.

You can't for iis express. It's only meant for testing code
