Create virtual directory in SharePoint IIS

Question

I have a SharePoint 2013 on premise. I created a new virtual directory under the SharePoint web in IIS. I published a webservice into the new virtual directory. When accessing the .asmx it says

The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators.

Can anyone please explain me how to create a seperate virtual directory for my webservice to host under SharePoint IIS?

Answer 1

Try to go to Central administration->Security->Define blocked file types->remove “asmx” file name extension from the list of blocked file types and check again.
