Re: AW: [geclipse-dev] File Transfer

Hi Mathias,
> Romain is right when he says that EFS should be used to access remote files. Nevertheless EFS has some problems concerning caching and therefore is not well suited to be used with remote file systems. Therefore we provide a wrapper EFS file system in our core. To access it you may use the following code:
>

> GEclipseURI guri = new GEclipseURI( uri );
> IFileStore fs = EFS.getStore( guri );

Sounds good!

Thanks for this info. Does GEclipseURI allow the usage of additional EFS 
implementations (http, ftp, scp...)?
