NetWare Glossary

File system, HP-UX
The HP-UX file system is hierarchical and represented as a tree. It has a
single root directory but can have many subdirectories, which can contain
files and other subdirectories.
Each hard disk may be divided into one or more partition. Each partition is
assigned to a particular type of file system. These file systems are then
mounted into a single hierarchical tree and appear as a single file system.
HP-UX systems allow multiple file system types, for example, UNIX File
System (ufs), Veritas File System (vxfs), and System V (s5).
NetWare volumes are mount points in the HP-UX file system. To the
NetWare user, the volume level appears to be the root. It is, however, only
one branch of the HP-UX file system.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A set of control procedures to prevent errors in information transmitted
between network stations.
The data is sent from one station to another in packets. Each packet includes
a discrete number that is derived from the data that makes up the packet,
according to a mathematical algorithm.
The algorithm is applied to each data packet a second time when it arrives on
the receiving end.
If the number on the receiving end does not match the number included in
the packet, the receiving station sends a signal to the transmitting station
requesting that the packet be resent.
Filename extensions, NetWare
The extension used after the period in NetWare filenames.
