What is the equivalent of Windows server IIS virtual paths in Linux?
In Windows server, these virtual paths show up in an ftp session when
you do a "dir".

The reason for the question is we need to port some Windows apps to
Linux and virtual paths have been used quite heavily in the code.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

A brief google reveals that these are pseudo files and directiories that
serve database content.,

You can do pseudo files using links symbolic or otherwise, that will
show up in things like directory listings, but if you want to access
database content from an app, its best to usee e.g. MySql and write a
similar API shim that will mimic the behaviour of a virtual path.
