AFP
A program running in a local computer requests and manipulates files by using that computer’s native file system commands. These commands manipulate files on disk or other memory resource that is physically connected to the local computer. Through AFP, a program can use the same native file system commands to manipulate files on a shared resource that resides on a remote computer (for example, a file server).
A program running on the local computer sends a command to the native file system. A data structure in local memory indicates whether the volume is managed by the native file system or by some external file system. The native file system discovers whether the requested file resides locally or remotely by looking at this data structure. If the data structure indicates an external file system, the native file system routes the command to the AFP translator.
The translator, as its name implies, translates the native commands into AFP commands and sends them through to the file server that manages the remote resource. The AFP translator is not defined in the AFP specification; it is up to the applications programmer to design it.
A program running on the local computer may also need to send AFP commands for which no equivalent command exists in the native file system. In this case, the AFP command is sent directly to the desired external file system, as shown in Figure 1-1. For example, user authentication might have to be handled through an interface written for that purpose.
AFP supports computers using Mac OS and personal computers using MS-DOS. AFP can be extended to support additional types of computers. Any implementation of AFP must take into account the capabilities of the networked computer’s native file system and simulate its functionality in the shared environment. In other words, the shared file system should duplicate the characteristics of a local computer’s file system. Simulating the functionality of each local computer’s native file system becomes increasingly complex as different computer types share the same file server. Because each computer type has different characteristics in the way it manipulates files, the shared file system needs to possess the combined capabilities of all computers on the same network.
Three system components make up AFP:
*
a file system structure, which is made up of resources (such as file servers, volumes, directories, files, and forks) that are addressable through the network. These resources are called AFP-file-system-visible entities. AFP specifies the relationship between these entities. For example, one directory can be the parent of another. For descriptions of AFP-file-system-visible entities, see “File System Structure” later in this chapter.
*
AFP commands, which are the commands the local computer uses to manipulate the AFP file system structure. As mentioned earlier, the translator sends file system commands to the file server in the form of AFP commands, or the application running on the local computer can make AFP commands directly. Each AFP command is described in detail in the “Tasks” section of this document.
*
algorithms associated with the commands, which specify the actions performed by the AFP commands.
Although this chapter distinguishes between local computers and file servers, AFP can support these two functions within the same node. However, AFP does not solve the concurrency problems that can arise when a computer is both an AFP client and an AFP server. The software on such combined nodes must be carefully designed to avoid potential conflicts.
AFP does not provide commands that support administration of the file server. Administrative functions, such as registering users and changing passwords, must be handled by separate network-administration software. Additional software must also be provided to add, remove, and find servers within the network.
DoS
MS-DOS (short for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is an operating system commercialized by Microsoft. It was the most commonly used member of the DOS family of operating systems and was the dominant operating system for computers based on the Intel 8086 family of microprocessors, particularly the IBM PC and compatibles, during the 1980s. It was gradually replaced on consumer desktop computers by operating systems offering a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular by various generations of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It was originally known as QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) and 86-DOS.[1]
MS-DOS was originally released in 1981 and had eight major versions released before Microsoft stopped development in 2000. It was the key product in Microsoft's growth from a programming languages company to a diverse software development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources. It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI.
Maybe not a virus after all? do a little research.. id say it was a false possitive?
