WWWE Logo File Mapping

File mapping establishes associations between sets of file names. File mapping allows you to supply filenames to the outside world without revealing the internal file structure of the server. Most Web URLs are either wholly or partly aliases generated by file mapping to protect the underlying file system of the Web server.

The NCSA server convention ScriptAlias is used for file mapping when testing servers.
