COTTA File System: About the plug-in

From CFTP

Jump to: navigation, search

The plug-in uses an underlying COTTA file system. It also hides the actual structure of the file system: user sees virtual paths (Unix-style) mounted to the real paths on the drive. The plug-in stores home folders of all users in the same directory and does not allow users to browse outside of the home folder, but using the virtual folders feature you can mount any arbitrary directory to the home folder.


For any configured user you may create links to directories anywhere on your file system, set permissions on any directory, apply restrictions based on the names of files, allow/forbid file operations. This plug-in provides total control over your file system.


As mentioned before, the plug-in uses a COTTA file system. The main goal of the COTTA project is that it provides an abstraction of a file system. The project contains several file system implementations (FTP, physical, in-memory etc). You can mount any of those file system to this plug-in. The COTTA related materials and downloads are available on the projects' homepage at http://cotta.sourceforge.net
