The Cross Platform Explorer

Project Abstract

     This Project "Cross - X" is a cross platform explorer that allows universal access of  all types of file system in a heterogeneous network environment having different platforms such as Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. The tool allows all normal operations such as open ,delete ,copy ,cut , paste,  rename, property changing etc to be performed on the files of all types. The tool implements security in file access by authenticating the user before entering into each system with the username and password of the particular system being accessed.

     This tool Cross X is a very useful and important tool in the places where a heterogeneous network is involved i.e. a network in which systems with different platforms are found. This project may be used in Educational institutions, Developmental Areas, Research Centers and many other technical areas where a collection of heterogeneous systems are found    

     This tool is implemented by using the concept of Distributed Computing in Java namely, Remote Method Invocation (RMI).

     This tool Cross-X was purely implemented  for Educational purpose and not for any commercial activities
