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

|---|---|---|---|
physicalurl | file:/{mount-point} | Macintosh: file:/Volumes/ {name} / Windows: file://localhost/ {name} / | Specifies the mount point of the VFS |
The value {name} corresponds to the name of the host. If said host has an (optional) database value, this value is used for {name} . | |||
Windows: Windows offers three options to mount the VFS. Default is a UNC path: physicalurl="file://servername/mountname" - Mount as UNC path physicalurl="file:/W:/" - Mount as Disk Letter physicalurl="file:/C:/existing/path" - Mount as Disk path (only possible for NTFS) | |||
debug-level | 0...6 | 0 | Level for Log-Output |
