You should be able to do this by creating subclass of FileSystemView and 
FileView.  You may also need to subclass File.  These classes would have 
to communicate with objects running on the server that knew about the 
actual files and file system.

I am sure that this would not be a simple task, but it is possible, since  
JFileChooser does not do any actual file system access itself.  Instead, 
it uses FileSystemView and FileView to access it.
