HELIOS Offers Free Download of File System Test Software
HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading provider of file, print and prepress server solutions has developed a small tool for testing various file server features relevant to Mac OS.
Garbsen, Germany (PRWEB) May 5, 2004 -- HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading
provider of file, print and prepress server solutions has developed a small tool
for testing various file server features relevant to Mac OS X. With HELIOS File
System Test, which is free of charge, every Macintosh user can verify in a quick
and reliable way whether the utilized file server is in all respects compatible
with Mac OS X.
The HELIOS File System Test suite comprises a total of 11
single tests and is suited to examine the following Mac OS X network
connections:
* AFP (Apple Filing
Protocol)
* NFS (Network File
System)
* SMB/CIFS (Windows SMB
Protocol)
* WebDAV (iDisk HTTP based
protocol)
Among other things, the program checks the support of file
sizes exceeding 4 GB, long file names, UTF-8 compatibility, correct file access
rights as well as the consistent use of file/directory IDs. In case the tested
server fails the examination, HELIOS File System Test will issue a detailed
error log message.
Our tests carried out with HELIOS File System Test and
HELIOS LanTest, which is also free of charge, prove that only the Apple Filing
Protocol version 3.1 guarantees faultless and powerful file server
operation.
Full Mac OS X 10.3 client compatibility can only be achieved
with Apple's native OS X AFP Server or with HELIOS EtherShare (AFP 3.1 extension
needed). Windows 2003 Server and other Apple compatible AFP file server
solutions merely offer a limited Mac OS X 10.3 client compatibility.

HELIOS has
updated its AFP 3.1 implementation for EtherShare. The current version of
EtherShare AFP 3.1 is AFP 3.1p4.

WebShare provide integrated cross-platform networking for Macintosh and Windows
clients, with advanced file and print server services, and easy remote server
administration. HELIOS ImageServer, PDF HandShake and PrintPreview bring high

operations.
