VFS Configuration - SysAdmin

The Virtual File System is configured primarily by adjusting the "hosts.xml" file and should therefore only be performed by experienced users.

The following example shows a section of the configuration file "hosts.xml". The XML node "censhare-vfs" below host defines the VFS behavior of the host "hostname". The following table lists all possible attributes, which can be added to the node "censhare-vfs":

CODE

<host name="hostname"
      authentication-method=""
      compressionlevel="0"
      url="//some/where/corpus.RMIServer">
 <censhare-vfs use="1" />
</host>
