A virtual file server for generating content data in response to computer operating system requests involving a remote file system. According to a preferred embodiment, the virtual file server receives the request, which may be via any of a variety of standard protocols. Content data is generated or retrieved and translated into the format specified by the request. The virtual file content need not be maintained as a stored physical file in the requested format. The requested contents of this virtual file are encoded according to the protocol by which the request was initially received. Once so encoded, the requested content of the virtual file is transmitted in response to the request.
