Issue converting single site to multi-site – blogs.dir folder not created

by

I have an existing WP install that I’m attempting to convert into a multi-site, in order to set up a development version in a subdirectory (required for testing an SSL on the same domain).

I’ve been able to do the initial stages of the multi-site okay, but when I’ve inspected my directory for the blogs.dir directory, I found that instead of a folder, there’s a text file there.

Here’s a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/jlV4JAaUUmV

I can’t find any examples of this happening online, nor am I sure how the install works okay without a folder there.

All parts of the original site run fine, but because the blogs.dir is a text file, I can’t import files for my development installation…

Is there a step that I missed?

blogs.dir isn’t used for multisites created after WordPress 3.5. Instead everything exists in wp-content/uploads.
