I cannot get image listing to show in the Image Manager of the Editor control.  It just shows nothing.  I verified that my virtual directory is correct because it is showing image listing in IIS7 Server Manager.

I linked it to a virtual directory however it does not work when using a virtual directory link to a remote server directory.  If I link it to a local folder on the web hosting server it works fine.

I followed the instructions on this link: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/uploading-images-and-files-to-a-shared-drive.aspx
however the instructions seems specific to IIS6.

Is these a different technique used for IIS7?    Is this a permissions problem?

Hi Jason,

This is most probably permission issue. However, the recommended approach for accessing a shared drive for ImageManager is to implement a custom content provider to the dialog. You can find an example of such provider in the following KB article:
Use RadFileExplorer with physical and shared folder's paths

You can find a tutorial on how to implement custom content provider to the RadEditor's dialogs in this live demo:
Editor / Custom File Dialogs Content Provider

Kind regards,
