Inbound mapping of FTAM attributes

The following tables show how FTAM attributes are mapped to the real file system.

Unix systems

Attribute group	FTAM attributes	Mapping in the Unix system (inbound receive)	Modify FTAM attributes
Kernel group	permitted actions READ-FILE INSERT-DATA-UNIT REPLACE-FILE EXTEND-FILE ERASE-DATA-UNIT READ-ATTRIBUTES CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES DELETE-FILE	FTAM catalog	permitted locally1
	universal class number GRAPHIC GENERAL IA5 VISIBLE	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1
	string significance VARIABLE FIXED not significant	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1
	maximum string length	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1
	document type FTAM1 FTAM3	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1
Storage group	file availability IMMEDIATE DEFERRED	FTAM catalog	inbound permitted
	future file size	is ignored	not permitted
	storage account	is ignored	not permitted
Security group	ActionList (of 1ACE)
	READ-FILE	r	inbound permitted
	INSERT-DATA-UNIT	not permitted	not permitted
	REPLACE-FILE	w	inbound permitted
	EXTEND-FILE	w	inbound permitted
	ERASE-DATA-UNIT	w	inbound permitted
	READ-ATTRIBUTES	x dir	inbound permitted2
	CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES	w dir+owner	inbound permitted2
	DELETE-FILE	w + wdir	inbound permitted
	LEGAL-QUALIFICATION	is ignored	not permitted

¹A local modification of the FTAM attribute is possible with the ftmodf function.

²The value must always be sent, but may not be changed.

Windows systems

Attribute group	FTAM attributes	Mapping in Windows (inbound)	Modify FTAM attributes
Kernel group	permitted actions READ-FILE INSERT-DATA-UNIT REPLACE-FILE EXTEND-FILE ERASE-DATA-UNIT READ-ATTRIBUTES CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES DELETE-FILE	FTAM catalog extension	permitted locally1
	universal class number GRAPHIC GENERAL IA5 VISIBLE	FTAM catalog extension	permitted locally 1
	string significance VARIABLE FIXED not significant	FTAM catalog extension	permitted locally 1
	maximum string length	FTAM catalog extension	permitted locally 1
	document type FTAM1 FTAM3	FTAM catalog extension	permitted locally 1
Storage group	file availability IMMEDIATE DEFERRED	FTAM catalog extension	inbound permitted
	future file size	is ignored	not permitted
	storage account	is ignored	not permitted
Security group	ActionList:
	READ-FILE	Read2	not permitted
	INSERT-DATA-UNIT	not permitted	not permitted
	REPLACE-FILE	Read + Write3	not permitted
	EXTEND-FILE	Read + Write2	not permitted
	ERASE-DATA-UNIT	Read + Write2	not permitted
	READ-ATTRIBUTES	Read2	not permitted
	CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES	Read + Write2	not permitted
	DELETE-FILE	delete3	not permitted
	LEGAL-QUALIFICATION	is ignored	not permitted

¹A local modification of the FTAM attribute is possible with the ftmodf function.

²Read also necessary in parent directory

³Read + write also necessary in parent directory

The following file attributes are derived from the current Unix or Windows file attributes:

• file name

• file size

• identity of creator

• date and time of last read access

• date and time of last attribute modification

• date and time of last modification

• access control

Other attributes are only partially supported by openFT. As the responder, openFT does not return any value for the following file attributes (no value available):

• identity of last modifier

• identity of last reader

• identity of last attribute modifier

• storage account

• legal qualification

In Unix and Windows systems, the FTAM protocol parameter filestore password is mapped to the password of the of the login name concerned.
