Hey Nilesh, That is great. But i lost on the part where you said that you replaced "ram" with "file". Can you tell me what did u do in more detail if that's not a problem? I tried this VFS bridge for sometime but was unsuccessfull. I later on configured my own FileSystemView which seemed to be much easier.

Hi Sam: Following code snippet helped me. I modified it to use "file" protocol instead of "ram" mentioned in the snippet. http://snipt.org/kpomo/ Found this posted by someone on this mailing list. Thanks, Nilesh.
