Re: Accessing Files from other users home folder?
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.

Hi David: Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry for not replying earlier but it took me a while to attempt the VFS thing. For now I think VFS FTPServer Bridge will do it for me. It (The bridge) allows you to set root directory for the virtual file system, which can be parent to all users' home directories. Thanks to you and Gary for the pointers. Nilesh.

Re: Accessing Files from other users home folder?
We use symbolic links to link the same file to more than one user. So the file actually sits in /files/common/documents/test.txt and is symbolically linked into /home/userA and /home/userB. For the next version of our code we intend to implement a custom filesystem that will remove the need for unix symlinks to achieve the same result.
