Hello, All!
Is anybody use tclVFS?
I've tried to use it in one project to upload data to ftp site.
It looks like there are some bugs. It seams to me that project
website is half down. There are to small activity.

So the question:
Should I use it or will be better to switch to ftp package? In this
case it will be more low level interface, but probably more stable...

A *lot* of people use tclVFS every day -- it is part of how StarPaks and
StarKits work (as well as ActiveState's Tcl DevKit).

As to the FTP as a VFS, I've always preferred to use the FTP package in
TclLib -- it makes errors a lot more explicit.

The TclVFS package is actively used.

Are you using the example ftp virtual filesystem included in the
TclVFS package? The example ftp filesystem uses the tcllib ftp
package, so abandoning TclVFS may not solve your problems. Or are you
using code you wrote yourself?

If you post some of the code you're using and sample errors, it may be
possible to give more help. If you've found an actual bug, there's a
good chance it'll be fixed.

Hello!
Actually I did both..
1. I've tried to start tests from tclVFS package.
The idea of the test was start tcl script from remote ftp. I did it
under Linux ant it failed on my PC.

2. In my own code, that was in general copy/paste from example, cd
command failed under windows. I do not test it under linux so I'm not
shure if it windows specific bug or not.

I' submit bugs report on tclVFS site.
