Virtual File System Manager

Some things to remember while using Virtual File System Manager:

  1. It looks like in Windows environment VFSM requires domain name of remote host should be A record rather than CNAME; If domain name of a host is CNAME, VFSM can't connect to it with an error like this:
  2. In Linux environment VFSM can mount remote file system of a host with both kind of domain names (A record or CNAME);
  3. VFSM can copy files between remote file system and local file system and back and can't copy files between two remote file systems. If user copies files between two remote hosts then files aren't appeared on destination hosts but deleted from source host.
  4. To copy user needs to use shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V instead of mouse drag-n-drop.
  5. If there was an attempt to get access to any folder but /tmp as Anonymous user then VFSM didn't give access even to /tmp folder. The best way I know is to restart VFSM.
  6. May be there are some more troubles but I didn't investigate them yet.
