Hmm, well, they seem to be close to releasing VFS 2.1 now.  The release notes certainly sound like it, but the file name in the latest "trunk" code still gives "SNAPSHOT" name to the .jar file.

I will keep monitoring and update the .jar file(s) when the release is available.

It looks they have released Commons VFS 2.1 now.  I will update the .jar files in the next few days.

> 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.
