Gary, The S3 provider has an implementation https://github.com/abashev/vfs-s3/tree/master/src/main/java/com/intridea/io/vfs/provider/s3/operations
You'd probably need to talk with Mario about specifics. From what I can tell, it's basically an implementation of the Command pattern with the implementations registered in the concrete implementation FileOperationsProvider interface. This basically let's you ask "what operations are available from this file system", you can then select and invoke the operation that you want. The original idea was that you would be able to use it with SVN, or other version control systems, but also with Sanselan ( http://wiki.apache.org/commons/VfsNext). But the SVN implementation seems to be blocked now due to licensing issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-43. I don't know of any other implementations (other than S3) attempting to use it, but I would imagine that it would be pretty useful.
