Hi All,
I checked MacFUSE and thats what I was looking for. But its only for Mac OS
10.4 and above :-( . I think it would have been great if it could support
Mac OS 10.3.9.
Sometime back when I was researching about, i did find MFSLives and EmptyFS.
The docs says MFS is not longer supported in Mac OS X. (
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/MFSLives/index.html) and EmptyFS is
using .dmg which is not so interesting.
I think i should explore more of webdav. May be I should build a webdav
server that acts as a intermediary between my server and my webdav client.
Is there any webdav client/server samples available for cocoa/carbon.
And finally many thanks for all you in helping me out. Now i am in much
better position.
Thanks a lot,
-Anish

Have you read QA1242?

It's got some good information and pointers to sample code. As it
suggests, you may also want to check out the MFSLives or some of the
source code in the Darwin project like webdavfs to see how it's done.
Either way, VFS development is off-topic for this list, you may want
to try the filesystem-dev list.
