Xml FS: About the library

From CFTP

Jump to: navigation, search

This has been extracted from Hard File System plug-in into a stand alone library. The library is used to describe users' homes and directories' permissions through XML. It is abstracted from a physical hard drive and can be used by any file system plug-in that wishes to define its configuration in an XML file.


This library hides the actual structure of the file system: user sees virtual paths (Unix-style) mounted to the real paths on the drive. It demands that home folders of all users must be located in the same directory and does not allow users to browse outside of the home folder, but using the virtual folders feature it is possible to mount any arbitrary directory to the home folder.


For any configured user you may create links to directories anywhere on your file system (eg. hard drive), 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.
