Hi!

Not every FileObject can be represented as a local file, and thus getLocalFile ist protected.

What you can do is to replicate the file:

File file = fileObject.getFileSystem().replicateFile(fileObject, Selectors.SELECT_SELF);

For the local filesystem this simply exposes the local file object (no real replication takes place). For any other file object, e.g. a reference to a file within a zip file real replication takes place and the file will be copied to a temporary place.

Ciao,

Subject: VFS LocalFile#getLocalFile() protected?

Is there any reason LocalFile#getLocalFile() is protected rather then
public?

Since the process to reconstruct a File object is kinda clunky, it
would be nice to just have access directly to the file object.
