[commons vfs] Mapping a network drive?
I'm a little confused about how I would do this... I would like to expose a remote computer (through SSH) as a local drive on my Windows machine. This way any application I have would be able to connect to the remote computer without worrying about it's networking capabilities.
Can VFS do this? I did a little research into the networking stuff, but since I'm very new to networking it's all pretty foreign to me.

Sorry, no windows here, but I use
tar:file:///home/im/tmp/log4j.tar!/
and this works. (tar:file:///home/im/tmp/log4j.tar! too)
Ok, do you use VFS.getManager()? If so, do you have commons-compress in
your classpath?
This is a requirement for tar.

Right. Sorry guys. I'd better buy new pair of glasses.
Nevertheless, exactly same error occurs with "tar:file://C:\src.tar!".

That was the third one I had tried:
org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Badly formed URI
"tar:file//C:\src.tar!".
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Hi,
Try this way:

[commons vfs] Extracting tar fails
Posted by hrjk <ha...@zeniitti.net>.
Hi.
Is there some kind of a bug in handling tar files with VFS? I'm getting
badly formed uri constantly with trying to access TAR file contents.
org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Badly formed URI
"tar:file//C:\src.tar!".
I've been trying to resolve file with:
"tar://C:\src.tar!/"
"tar://C:\src.tar!"
"tar:file//C:\src.tar!"
"tar:file//C:\src.tar!/"
Zip files are working file. My VFS snapshot is dated 27.4.2006.
Thanks for any help.
BR,

By "my applications" I think that Ivan meant any application from his
computer and not his own developed applications.

This could be done, but not exactly the way you're thinking. :-)
In VFS you can use SFTP to access different volumes. You can create and save a simple text file that contains all of the URLs that you want your applications to have access to.
When your apps startup, they read the file, and use VFS to create connections to those volumes. This approach should work on any operating system, and doesn't rely on any platform specific code.

Hi,
In short, this is not handled by VFS. Since network drive mapping is a
Windows specific operation the mapping can be achieved only by using native
code. The J2SE core libraries do not have this feature implemented and nor
does VFS.

Re: [commons vfs] File information?

Among these only last modified date is accessible from VFS (
FileObject.getContent().getLastModifiedTime() ). Again, this is mostly
because the limitations of java.io.File used for local files.
