OSVirtualFileSystemManager

Hi everyone,

Can anyone explain to me the purpose of the OSVirtualFileSystem?

Is it for making the user's home directory relative to a virtual path?
I.e. I want my user's to list their home directory as /gmui, but it's
physically stored to some specified place, like C:\InetPub\apacheFtp?

Also, is there any reason why half of the files are 'Virual' vs.
'Virtual'?

Thanks!

Gary

Hi,

   Currently, it does not serve any purpose. Initially
it was written to support the default file system. Now
NativeFileSystemManager is the default file system
manager. 

We shall remove it soon. 

BTW, last one month I was too busy in my office work.
So I could not modify the codebase you suggested to
fix passive port problem. You are absolutely right
about it.

Thanks,
Rana Bhattacharyya
