This interface provides standard methods supported by both kh.net.FtpFile and kh.io.LocalFile. This allows FtpFiles and File to be compared and merged using the same code.

   public abstract FileInfo createChild(String name, 
                                        boolean isDirectory)  throws IOException

Create a FileInfo with this FileInfo as the parent. The file is not yet created unless it is a directory. If not a directory, the file is created by openOutputStream.

   public abstract void deleteFile()  throws IOException

Delete the specified file.

   public abstract FileInfo getChild(String name)  throws IOException

Return a FileInfo which references a preexisting file or directory. Throws an exception if the file doesn't exist

   public abstract Enumeration getChildren()  throws IOException

Return an Enumeration of kh.io.FileInfo containing current directory contents

   public abstract long getLength() 

Return the number of bytes in this file

   public abstract Date getModDate() 

Return the mod date for this file

   public abstract String getName() 

Return the name of this file - not including parent components.

   public abstract FileInfo getParentInfo() 

Return the parent directory of this file - or null if we were the root node

   public abstract boolean isDirectory() 

Return true if this file represents a directory

   public abstract boolean isFile() 

Return true if a 'regular' file

   public abstract boolean isWritable() 

Return true if this file can be written to by the current user

   public abstract InputStream openInputStream()  throws IOException

Return a stream which can be used to read from this file. The caller is responsible closing the stream eventually. Throws an exception if this is not isFile().

   public abstract OutputStream openOutputStream()  throws IOException

Create a file with the specified name - returns the output stream which can be used to write to this file.

   public abstract void renameFile(FileInfo newName)  throws IOException
