[jira] [Commented] (PIVOT-864) Add a pluggable file system
architecture to FileBrowser so remote browsing can be done
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-864?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13432095#comment-13432095 ]
Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-864:
--------------------------------------
Looking into Apache Commons VFS as the basis for this -- supports FTP, WebDAV, HTTP, etc. as file systems (see http://commons.apache.org/vfs/filesystems.html), and it subsumes Apache Commons-Net.

> Our application requires the ability to be able to browse (for instance) a Linux machine from the Windows desktop. For this I would like to add (somehow) a pluggable file system architecture so that I could (for instance) implement an FTP protocol underneath the FileBrowser so that I can browse through directories and files on something other than the local machine. We would also need to be able to type in a host name or TCP/IP address to start browsing the remote machine.
