Welcome to VFSJFileChooser website

Overview

This project is not maintained anymore! It is strongly recommended that you consider the two projects below for any updates or bug fixes :

  • otrosvfsbrowser is a File browser for Apache Commons VFS version 2. It was created as alternative to "VFS JFileChooser" and "Commons VFS - UI".
  • vfsjfilechooser2 is a mavenized fork of the dormant vfsjfilechooser project on sf.net.

    • Thank you for your understanding.

    Summary

    VFSJFileChooser is a Java Swing Component which allows you to browse both remote(FTP, SFTP, WEBDAV, etc.) and local filesystems. It is based on Apache Commons VFS library. VFSJFileChooser is distributed under Apache License 2.0.

    VFSJFileChooser was first started to be a plugin of XPontus XML Editor. Later, it was decided to create a library which wouldn't be tied to XPontus API.

    VFSJFileChooser supports all the file systems available in Commons VFS.

    You can think of VFSJFileChooser as a javax.swing.JFileChooser with the ability to browse remote locations such as FTP, SFTP, etc. VFSJFileChooser has not been designed as a file transfer tool, however it can be easily implemented (2 VFSJFileChooser components and some buttons calling commons-vfs API methods, a queue for file operations, etc.).

    Please see the features , the screenshots and the tutorial for more details.

    Note
    The new API now uses Enum instead of int fields which breaks the compatibility with previous versions(setFileSelectionMode, showOpenDialog, showSaveDialog).

    VFSJFileChooser icons are from FamFamFam and Tango.
