Example source code for a custom protocol handler for the virtual file system.

In the user manager, make a new VFS item. Set its protocol to be FILE. Save your changes, and close the user manager. Now go find the users folder, your server group, then your user, then the VFS folder, and finally the name of the VFS item you just saved. Edit it with a text editor, and set the URL to be:

CUSTOM_com.myprotocol.MyProtocol://any_data_you_want_on_the_url:port/

Now you are ready to login. This class must be on the class path for CrushFTP for it to work.
