NetFS 3.4
An Amiga-oriented remote filesystem and AREXX ports sharing.

Copyright � 2015-2025 Philippe Rimauro

Based on the original NetFS from Timo Rossi, 1992-1996.



Introduction
------------

NetFS is a network filesystem and AREXX ports sharing for MorphOS
computers or Amigas running a TCP/IP stack (such as AmiTCP, MiamiDx or
Roadshow).

This new revised version of NetFS greatly improves it by adding support
for most of the missing DOS packets (including 64 bit support on
MorphOS). It also introduces an asynchronous mechanism for the
connection management to avoid locks and annoying timeouts. Support for
IECLASS events and MagicBeacon notifications (MorphOS-only) was also
added, as well as some basic security management data encryption, and
much more...

Please note that NetFS is *NOT* SUN NFS compatible. It is to be used
between MorphOS computers and Amigas only.



Requirements:
-------------

. MorphOS, AmigaOS 3.x or AmigaOS 4.x (should also work on 2.04; not
tested).
. A working ethernet network.
. MUI 3.8 or better for the graphical tools (optional).
. In real life, anything less than a 68040 might be a bit too slow for
the crypted mode.

Note: There is no specific PowerPC binaries for AmigaOS 4.x, but the 68k
version of NetFS works nicely on this OS (with some minor
limitations).



What's new?
-----------

. Reduced network latency and stack memory usage during concurrent
access to a drive.
. Optimized network send and receive buffer size.
. Added on-the-fly DOS packets compression (using LZ4) to improve
transfer rate of large files. It can be disabled to save memory and
CPU on low-end systems (either on handler or server side). A new
library "netfspack.library" is now part of the package.
. Fixed a hit in NetFS-Explorer and NetFSInfo when probing a computer
with no hostname (reported by jPV).
. Fixed wrong ACTION_SEEK64 and ACTION_SET_FILE_SIZE64 when dealing with
local files "Disk.info", ".backdrop" and "~backdrop" (thanks to Frank
Mariak and piru).
. Fixed issues with ACTION_READ_LINK and ACTION_NEW_READ_LINK (reported
by piru).
. Fixed an issue with ACTION_MAKE_LINK (reported by jPV).
