It was just an example, and eric mixed two up I think. He started with a windows server, and ended up talking about a unix server (my previous example) Let's say you have a fileset with /home/marc, /home/eric/data and /var/tmp/marc. I agree that's a bit silly, but I think it would be a good example to discuss on. You can 'guess' that / is the main directory. But you still end up with the real problem, that is to determine as fast as possible what should be displayed, and I don't really see how you mean to do it. I think that we should start with the example and discuss on it... Can you explain how you know that you should display / as a root for this server, then that / contains home and var, then if you go in /home that you should display 'marc' and 'eric' ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
