The Barracuda Application Server Demo is an example from ourBarracuda Application Server SDK called the LSP Application Manager,which includes a web based code editor, where you can develop yourweb pages. The pages are stored on your PC, and the LSP Application Manager fetches the pages on your PC using a Network File System. For the network file system to work, the Web File Server (wfs.exe) must be running on your PC. See the following video for instructions:
