VirtualPath to existing folder?
You need to add the path in the web.config like this
<location path="Upload">
<staticFile expirationTime="-1.0:0:0" />
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="webresources" path="WebResource.axd" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader" />
<add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</location>

If you are using IIS 5/6 it could also be a problem with access rights in the local filesystem. For some reason that manifests itself as 404 and not some kind of access denied error.

Hi
Tested with the config in you first post, but changed it to use VirtualPathVersioningProvider instead of versioning. I assume you did the same since you mentioned the native provider in your post. Anyway, worked like a charm for me.
Give the suggestions from Anders and Magnus a try and see if they solve the problem. Because what you are trying to do should work.

How do i create a virtualpath to an existing folder (containing files)?
I have created a "upload"-folder by adding the following line to web.config, and this works just fine.
<add showInFileManager="true" virtualName="Upload" virtualPath="~/Upload/"
bypassAccessCheck="false" physicalPath="D:\some\path\Upload"
name="SiteUpload" type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathVersioningProvider,EPiServer" />
I was sure it would be just as easy to point to an exisitng folder (containing files) and just use VirtualPathNativeProvider. It shows up in filemanager, but i get error 404 when trying to browse the files... what did i miss?
