You could create a kind of automated workaound that first downloads the files from a location on the Internet (e. g. with wget or ftp) and then uploads them again if / after they've been changed. As far as I know, there's no way to, say, % ln -s http;//some.kind.of.server.org/home/foo/furz.txt local.txt To mount a distant file system, tools like NFS or fuse can be used. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
