Virtual file systems (VFS)VFSA basic
OFM feature is VFS, this an
abstracted layer over all kinds of archived information (ZIP
files, FTP servers, TAR archives, NFS filesystems, SAMBA shares,
ISO cd/dvd images, RPM catalogs, etc.), which allows the user to
access all the information in these divergent types of
filesystems transparently - just like entering an ordinary
sub-directory. &krusader; supports several virtual
file systems:
Remote connections
VFS: provides the capability of working with a remote
connection session (FTP, NFS, Samba, FISH, SFTP) like with
local filesystems. It is perfect for complex remote operations
and almost as powerful as most standalone GUI remote
clients.
Archive VFS: allows to browse
archives in VFS as it was a directory (ace, arj, bzip2, deb,
gzip, iso, lha, rar, rpm, tar, zip and 7-zip).
Search VFS:
Feed to listbox places the search
results in VFS.
Synchronizer VFS: places
the synchronizer results in VFS.Actions you perform on the files in VFS are
performed on the 'real' files. You do not just delete files from
the VFS - you delete them from your hard drive. Limitations: you
ca not create directories inside a VFS.It is possible to keep the directory structure when doing a
from copy from a virtual folder to a non virtual folder, by
selecting the "Keep virtual directory structure" check box of the
copy dialog. Imagine the following virtual folder:
$file:/home/myhome/mydir1/myfile1$file:/home/myhome/mydir1/myfile2$file:/home/myhome/mydir2/myfile3
Then do the following steps:
go to the virtual folder and select the filesselect a destination folder (non virtual!)press
