# orion.core.file

The `orion.core.file` service is used to provide file system contents for the Orion workspace. For example a plug-in can use this service to include content from one server into a workspace on another server. Each file service is displayed as a root element in the Orion Navigator page.

The code snippet below demonstrates an use of this service:

     provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.core.file", service, {Name: 'Sample File System'});

The above code will contribute a top level node to the Navigator named "Sample File System". The parameter "service" in the API above must provide the functions specified by the Orion file client API. Refer to `orion.fileClient.FileClient` in the client API reference for further details. For more information on client-server interaction, see Orion File Server API. For an complete file system example, see the sample file plugin in the Orion Git repository.
