I have created an Explorer(Basic windows style) using RMI and java.On localhost it runs fine , but on remote host it shows someinconsistency.Though files and folders are visible and ok , but their size (in somecases) is 0 .I am unable to track the problem. Source code is available at     geocities.com/dev.sushant/rmi forreview.(Project is developed in Netbeans and can be easily accessed.)

File doesn't take its length with it when you serialize it, or any other attribute except its name. You need to get all the File attributes you want at the side where they can be obtained, and ship them all to the other side.

It was disappointing the OP had not thought to run the 'clean' task to clear the build and dist directories before zipping it.I do not have any version of NB immediately available, butexperimented a little with the available build.xml to see if Icould throw the project on-screen, but after ten minutes of less than optimal results, I gave up and moved on..* And yes, I was really bored and at a loose end, at the time.-- Andrew Thompsonhttp://www.athompson.info/andrew/Message posted via JavaKB.comhttp://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/java-general/200710/1
