I suppose (but Iâm just guessing), that is because it is not a real file but a kind of symlink. Esteban On 21 Jul 2014, at 16:53, Juan Ignacio Vaccarezza <juanvaccarezza@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello all, I'm playing with pharo filesystem and I run into an issue.
I want to access the content of a remote windows folder from Linux, so my idea was to mount it using mount -t cifs, which works perfect, following that i thought I will access from pharo as any other directory. Instead of that if I try to make a fileReference with the mount point path I't says it deos not exists. But if I ask the parent folder for its childrends the mount point appears but not as a directory.
Example: given: /mnt/remoteFolderMountPoint
before mounting: '/mnt/remoteFolderMountPoint' asFileReference exists -> true '/mnt/remoteFolderMountPoint' asFileReference isDirectory -> true after mounting '/mnt/remoteFolderMountPoint' asFileReference exists -> false '/mnt/remoteFolderMountPoint' asFileReference isDirectory -> false
Other curious thing is that if I do: '/mnt/' asFileReference children, it shows the mountpoint forlder that claims not to exist :S
Any ideas?
Thanks, Juan
