Light Access to Remote Files Explorer with Windows Look & Feel

How to use:

java -jar LarfExplorer.jar

Features Working:

Multithreaded updates

Drag and drop (copy only, for safety) across JVMs (--> several file explorer windows).

download

rename, delete

view pane for text and other recognisable (softwired) mime types eg adql, votables, etc.

noddy zip file support

Todo:

Where are the button images in jar? Plugin mechanism for applications for mime types. (Mozilla mechanism?) esp VoTables Preferences everywhere - particularly dialog size, column widths etc Add special login prefs to each addstore (eg FTP vs myspace) [Plugins for directories? = plugins for LARF & Slinger]

How it works

Asynchronous File access (connect etc)

Layers; View, AsyncFile , Implementation file, delegate --> remote service
