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.
Create Media Image feature (Java IRC only)
When you use virtual media, performance is fastest when you use image files instead of physical disks. You can use industry-
standard tools like DD to create image files or to copy data from a disk image file to a physical disk. You can also use the Java
IRC to perform these tasks.
Creating a disk image file (Java IRC)
The Create Media Image feature enables you to create disk image files from data in a file or on a physical disk. You can create
an ISO-9660 disk image file (IMG or ISO).
