FILES

.OWN.XXXXXXXX: Used to indicate the ownership of a directory. If this file is present in a directory, the directory is owned by the machine whose inet number is XXXXXXXX when printed as an 8-digit hex number.
.FSP_OK_DEL: Existence of this file in a directory grants non-owner machines the permission to delete items from this directory.
.FSP_OK_ADD: Existence of this file in a directory grants non-owner machines the permission to add items to this directory.
.TXXXXXXXXXXXX: Transient temporary file in the FSP directory cache directory used for file uploading.
.GXXXXXXXXXXXX: Transient temporary file in the FSP directory used for file downloading through the fgrab command.
.HTAB_DUMP: A file created in the top directory when fspd receives an alarm signal. It contains a listing of the active clients in fspd's client table.
.ROGUE_HOSTS: A file containing a list of inet numbers in the normal 4-part format. fspd will not respond to messages from machines named in this file.
.FSP_CONTENT: File used to cache directory listing. Such files are normally created on demand in each directory that fspd exports. If a .FSP_CONTENT file exists in a directory, but is not writable by the fspd process, then the directory cannot be listed. If it does not exist and fspd fails in its attempt to create a .FSP_CONTENT file, then fspd will create one with a hashed name in a cache directory specified during compile time. Options can be set at compile time such that fspd will create a cache file in the cache directory even if a .FSP_CONTENT file could have been created in the directory to be listed.
