Introduction to the Compaq FTAM Responder The Responder and the File System

The Responder and the File System

Figure 1-2 also shows the file system used by the Compaq responder to access files.

When a remote FTAM initiator requests access to files, the Compaq FTAM responder provides that service via its virtual filestore (VFS) component, which acts as an interface to the file system. The set of files accessible via the VFS includes all files on the Expand network to which the Compaq FTAM responder process’ system belongs.

The responder’s VFS maps the FTAM requests into file requests and translates between FTAM and Guardian file structures and attributes. For more information on the VFS and how it maps particular file structures and attributes, refer to Sections 3 and 4.
