You have to install the Servlet in the server which you want to access. Then if you point the browser to that servlet it will present an explorer like interface to the filesystem on that machine. You can navigate through the file system, upload/download files,edit text files.

This was initially written for me to have a look at the server log files and edit configuration files on a NT server which I didn't have physical access to. (I got tired of using VNC)

The principle under which it works is quite simple. You pass the path you want to access as a query string to the servlet then it will give you a directory listing of that path and present that as a web page.

Roshan -

By what means is the remote file system accessed?
