Filr supports the following file systems:
Microsoft NTFS
Novell NSS
Filr supports the following native file access protocols:
Microsoft SMB/CIFS
Novell NCP
Many more storage subsystems and protocols are planned to be supported in future Filr releases.
Instead of mapping the intricate and sophisticated rights models from each of the possibly many storage systems, Filr adopted a simplified rights model that maps to the rights models of many storage systems.
The four roles in Filr:
None: No rights
Viewer: READ and VISIBILITY rights
Editor: READ, WRITE and VISIBILITY rights (WRITE includes modifying the contents of a file)
Contributor: READ, WRITE, CREATE, DELETE, RENAME, MOVE, COPY
IMPORTANT:Folders only, not Files.
Also, the rights apply only to folder contents, not to the folder itself.
Filr attempts to mimic the visibility features of each file system.
For example, if a user Tom has rights to a file in some sub-folders, Filr will ensure that Tom has VISIBILITY rights to all parent folders up to the top level of the Net Folder or My Files container.
