Stanford OpenAFS for Windows 1.5

Description

If you have file space allocated in AFS, you can use Stanford OpenAFS to access your AFS files and AFS files belonging to others. (Access controls set by the owner may limit or prevent your access to their files, of course.) This can be done by mounting the appropriate AFS location in your Windows Explorer, to use similarly to the way you would work with other Windows folders. You may create, name, move, copy, select, delete, rename, print and search for AFS files and directories in your Windows Explorer.

Notes

All users:

• If your need is to occasionally update your personal or department web page then you will likely be better off using an SFTP client like SecureFX. Please see the Stanford OpenAFS page for more information about this software and who will benefit most from using it.
  
  
• To use OpenAFS you need to also install Kerberos for Windows.
  
  
• Stanford OpenAFS does not work over dial-up connections.
  
  
• You must have administrator privileges on the computer to install Stanford OpenAFS. If you do not have administrator privileges, ask your system administrator to install Stanford OpenAFS for you.
  
  
• Client for Microsoft Networks must be installed and enabled. To check for Client for Microsoft Networks:
  • Open Network and Dial-up Connections (Windows XP: Start menu > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections).
  • In the Network Connections folder that is displayed, right click on the local area network connection that you are using and select Properties from the menu.
  • In the Properties dialog box, Client for Microsoft Networks should be checked.
    
    
• If you're using an AFS client behind a firewall or port blocking system of any kind, open up port 7001 for incoming UDP traffic. Otherwise, AFS will not work and it can tie up resources on the AFS file servers. If you're behind a firewall where you cannot do that, such as in a corporate environment, you won't be able to use AFS. If you need help, contact your system administrator, call the Stanford IT Help Desk at 5-HELP (650-725-4357), or submit a HelpSU request .
