Microsoft® Windows Server 2003: Administrator’s Companion

Understanding File Attributes

When using CSNW, NetWare file attributes are not exactly the same as those for Windows Server 2003. Table 23-1 shows the file attributes mapping between Windows Server 2003 and NetWare for files opened through CSNW.

Table 23-1. Comparing Windows and NetWare file attributes

Windows File Attributes	NetWare File Attributes
A (Archive)	A
S (System)	Sy
H (Hidden)	H
R (Read-only)	Ro, Di (Delete inhibit), Ri (Rename inhibit)

CSNW does not support the following NetWare file attributes:

• Rw (Read/write)

• S (Shareable)

• T (Transactional)

• P (Purge)

• Ra (Read audit)

• Wa (Write audit)

• Ci (Copy inhibit)

When you copy a file from a Microsoft networking client to the NetWare file server by means of CSNW, the Ro, A, Sy, and H file attributes are preserved. ...
