java - JFileChooser browsing a remote file system

Question

I am trying to Implement a JFileChooser that allows a user to select files on a remote system via ftp.

Everything I've read says this can be accomplished by extending FileSystemView so that all the file system methods (getFiles, etc) are overridden and routed across ftp.

I haven't had any luck implementing this, as FileSystemView appears to still be calling local functions.

Can anyone confirm that this can be done and/or point me in a good direction?
