Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-864: -------------------------------------- Note that Java 7 has much more features on File Systems, maybe there is something there that could help. FileSystem Notifications, etc ... maybe useful even for core Pivot in future (when we'll switch to Java 7 as minimum requirement) :-) . Uh a quick search say that FTP with Java 7 seems currently broken on Windows 7 @64 bit and even @32 bit ... attention. > Add a pluggable file system architecture to FileBrowser so remote browsing > can be done > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-864 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-864 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: wtk > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Environment: Windows, Linux, OSX > Reporter: Roger Whitcomb > Assignee: Roger Whitcomb > Labels: filebrowser > Fix For: 2.1 > > Original Estimate: 336h > Remaining Estimate: 336h > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
