File Services
- Improved handling of server volume aliases that have been copied from one user's environment to another.
- Improved Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) client permissions handling related to exclusive access of files. Resolves some instances of messages such as:
- "<file name> cannot be accessed"
- "The file may be read-only"
- "you may be trying to access a read-only location"
- "the server the document is stored on may not be responding"
- Example: Microsoft Excel can now open text documents on AFP volumes which were previously affected.
- "<file name> cannot be accessed"
- Prevents two applications on two computers from opening the same file at the same time from an AFP volume with write access. (Carbon supports denyWrite and denyRead/DenyWrite on AFP volumes as documented in "Inside Macintosh", pages 2-17.)
- Improves Classic compatibility by not caching read-write data from the Classic environment to an AFP volume, providing behavior more consistent with Mac OS 9 access to AFP volumes.
- AFP client software works as expected when connecting to Windows 2000 server share points. It is no longer necessary to configure your Windows 2000 share points to be owned by an administrator group.
