Accessing shared resources over LAN

Question

Hi everyone! Have a problem with subj. I'm trying to get acccess to shared resources (folders & files) at VPS hosted in LAN. Of course I can map shared as a drive, but whis just doesn't suitable. I need to be able to browse throgh folders adn read/write to files.

Is anyone guess a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Well, the more complex thing to me is an authentication, raher than a connection to VPS.

Answer 2

JCIFS is the answer if the folders are exported as Widnows shares (http://jcifs.samba.org/).

Apache Commons VFS is a common API for accessing files through a lot of different protocols (http://commons.apache.org/vfs/).
