No certain that I have the term correct. I want to write a C# applicaiton or
service that can present itself to the outside world as if it were a file
system, and permit client systems to access it as if it were such. Initially
I just want to be able to emulate a Windows remote share or mount point to a
remote file system (me). How do I go about achieving this in C#?

Well, what interfaces do you want to use? You will have to write atleast a
portion of your code(filesystem mounting code) in native code unless you use
existing standards like NFS or CIFS. However, if memory serves, NFS and CIFS
are both protocol based and should be entirely authorable within a .NET
language, its just a matter of getting windows to connect to them(I would
imagine CIFS is out of the question, as thats what normal windows shares use
and any machine with shares is going to use that and NFS requires the use of
Services For Unix if I remmeber correctly).
