Every time you call a method on the resolve file object the data will be refreshed with the filesystem. This will give you the behaviour you might expect from a local file but also might be a hughe performance loss as it will greatly increase the network load.
You can also can archive achieve this cache strategy if you pack by wrapping the file object in an org.apache.commons.vfs.cache.OnCallRefreshFileObject

FileObject fo = VFS.getManager().resolveFile("....");
OnCallRefreshFileObject foc = new OnCallRefreshFileObject(fo);
