I was examining the Tahoe-LAFS Network Topology diagram at <a href="http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/about.html">http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/about.html</a><br><br>The red lines include the Tahoe-LAFS client (web browser, for example, on a local machine), HTTP(S) server (local? remote??, or can be either???), and the Tahoe-LAFS storage client. Is the Tahoe-LAFS storage client on the local machine? It appears to be since it's in the same red box as the HTTP(S) server. Then the Tahoe code that we download and run performs the storage client function?<br>
<br>That sounds about right.<br><br>If this is the case, then _nothing_ goes out over the net unless it's encrypted. This is the best way.<br>If, however, the HTTP(S) server and Tahoe storage client are separated, then we have a problem.<br>
<br>How does the HTTP(S) server connect to the storage client? I'm somewhat familiar with Apache; would this be set up as a VirtualHost to port 3456? How would the data go from Apache to the Tahoe storage client?<br>
<br>Is it possible for Tahoe-LAFS to be a mounted directory? I'm taking this from the Windows virtual drive concept.<br><br>Newbie-ingly<br><br>Ted<br>
