- File Type Notes
- _____________________________________________________________________________
- Developer Technical Support
-
- File Type: $E2 (226)
- Auxiliary Type: $FFFF
-
- Full Name: EasyMount document
- Short Name: EasyMount document
-
- Written by: Dave Lyons May 1992
-
- Files of this type and auxiliary type contain EasyMount documents used by the
- System 6.0 EasyMount Finder extension.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- The EasyMount Finder extension in System 6.0 creates EasyMount documents and
- uses them to let the user quickly connect to shared disks.
-
- THE FILE FORMAT
-
- An EasyMount document has the following format. In future versions, more data
- may be added to the end.
-
- serverName (+000) String Name of server to connect to.
- entityName (+xxx) String Always "AFPServer". Immediately follows
- serverName.
- zoneName (+xxx) String Name of zone containing server. Immediately
- follows entityName.
- volumeName (+097) 28 Bytes Name String of specific volume to use on the
- server. This field takes 28 bytes regardless
- of the length of the String.
- userName (+125) 32 Bytes User name String to connect with. This field
- takes 32 bytes regardless of the length of
- the String.
- serverPassword (+157) 8 Bytes Password to connect with (padded with
- trailing zero bytes; all zeros to connect as
- Guest).
- volumePassword (+165) 8 Bytes Volume password (padded with trailing zero
- bytes). Most servers do not use volume
- passwords, and EasyMount always fills this
- field with zeros.
-
-
- Note that the userName field is big enough for a 31-character user name (with
- length byte). Although 32-character user names are valid under AppleShare,
- EasyMount can't deal with them (for historical reasons).
-
- Passwords are stored UNENCRYPTED in EasyMount documents; finding one with a
- saved password is the same as finding that user's password to the server.
- Please take appropriate security precautions if you save passwords in
- EasyMount documents.
