Fork Server Helper
Fork
Server Helper is a new system service making it possible for Mac OS X file
servers to share Macintosh files with resource forks to a heterogeneous network
environment without losing the fork data.
In a diverse environment consisting of Macintosh, Unix and Windows systems, the tool avoids problems arising when mixing the file service protocols AFP, NFS and CIFS/SMB: The different representations of resource forks used with those protocols can be reconverted by Fork Server Helper.
Additionally, Fork Server Helper assists in simplifying different security policies used by the various sharing protocols: Users can optionally set customized permission settings for files in shared folders making it possible to freely distribute files among a group of cooperative users, no matter which file sharing protocol is used.
Fork Server Helper is electronically distributed software. You can download the product and test it before you decide to purchase an unrestricted usage license.
End of Life Notice
Distribution of Fork Server Helper will end on the release date of Mac OS X 10.6. Engineering support for registered customers will end on March 15, 2010.
