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, enabling you to browse to the server and transfer the files from
the virtual image to the server.
This feature and many others are part of a licensing package. For more information, see the
