NAME
vfs_offline - Mark all files as offline
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = offline
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_offline module marks all files in the share as having the
offline DOS attribute.
Files with the offline DOS attribute are handled differently by the
Windows SMB client, as well as by Windows Explorer. In particular,
Windows Explorer does not read those files for the sole purpose of
drawing a thumbnail, as it normally does. This can improve user
experience with some remote file systems.
EXAMPLES
Mark all files in a share as offline:
[remote]
vfs objects = offline
VERSION
This man page is part of version 4.13.17 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR

Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
