Virtual folders
Virtual folders enable you to access, browse to, and transfer files from a client to a managed server. You can mount and
dismount a local or networked directory that is accessible through the client. After you create a virtual image of a folder or
directory, the server connects to the image as a USB storage device. You can browse to the server and transfer the files
from the virtual image to the server. Virtual folders up to 2 gigabytes in size are supported.
The Virtual Folder is nonbootable and read-only; the mounted folder is static. Changes to the client folder are not
replicated in the mounted folder. To update your view of a virtual folder after changing the client folder, simply disconnect
and then reconnect the virtual folder.
