+<h1>File System Service</h1>
+
+<p>File System service provides file transfer (and more generally file
+system access) functionality in TCF. The service design is
+derived from SSH File Transfer Protocol specifications.</p>
+
+<h2><a name='ReqSync'>Request Synchronization and Reordering</a></h2>
+
+<p>The protocol and implementations MUST process requests relating to
+the same file in the order in which they are received. In other
+words, if an application submits multiple requests to the server, the
+results in the responses will be the same as if it had sent the
+requests one at a time and waited for the response in each case. For
+example, the server may process non-overlapping read/write requests
+to the same file in parallel, but overlapping reads and writes cannot
+be reordered or parallelized. However, there are no ordering
+restrictions on the server for processing requests from two different
+file transfer connections. The server may interleave and parallelize
+them at will.</p>
+
+<p>There are no restrictions on the order in which responses to
+outstanding requests are delivered to the client, except that the
+server must ensure fairness in the sense that processing of no
+request will be indefinitely delayed even if the client is sending
+other requests so that there are multiple outstanding requests all
+the time.</p>
+
+<p>There is no limit on the number of outstanding (non-acknowledged)
+requests that the client may send to the server. In practice this is
+limited by the buffering available on the data stream and the queuing
+performed by the server. If the server's queues are full, it should
+not read any more data from the stream, and flow control will prevent
+the client from sending more requests.</p>
+
+<h2><a name='FileNames'>File Names</a></h2>
+
+<p>This protocol represents file names as strings. File names are
+assumed to use the slash ('/') character as a directory separator.</p>
+
+<p>File names starting with a slash are "absolute", and are relative to
+the root of the file system. Names starting with any other character
+are relative to the user's default directory (home directory). Client
+can use 'user()' command to retrieve current user home directory.</p>
+
+<p>Servers SHOULD interpret a path name component ".." as referring to
+the parent directory, and "." as referring to the current directory.
+If the server implementation limits access to certain parts of the
+file system, it must be extra careful in parsing file names when
+enforcing such restrictions. There have been numerous reported
+security bugs where a ".." in a path name has allowed access outside
+the intended area.</p>
+
+<p>An empty path name is valid, and it refers to the user's default
+directory (usually the user's home directory).</p>
+
+<p>Otherwise, no syntax is defined for file names by this specification.
+Clients should not make any other assumptions; however, they can
+splice path name components returned by readdir() together
+using a slash ('/') as the separator, and that will work as expected.</p>
+
+<h2><a name='FileModes'>File Open Modes</a></h2>
+
+<p>File open mode is bitwise OR of mode flags:</p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt><code>O_READ = 0x00000001</code>
+ <dd>Open the file for reading.
+
+ <dt><code>O_WRITE = 0x00000002</code>
+ <dd>Open the file for writing. If both this and O_READ are
+ specified, the file is opened for both reading and writing.
+
+ <dt><code>O_APPEND = 0x00000004</code>
+ <dd>Force all writes to append data at the end of the file.
+
+ <dt><code>O_CREAT = 0x00000008</code>
+ <dd>If this flag is specified, then a new file will be created if one
+ does not already exist (if O_TRUNC is specified, the new file will
+ be truncated to zero length if it previously exists).
+
+ <dt><code>O_TRUNC = 0x00000010</code>
+ <dd>Forces an existing file with the same name to be truncated to zero
+ length when creating a file by specifying O_CREAT.
+ O_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.
+
+ <dt><code>O_EXCL = 0x00000020</code>
+ <dd>Causes the request to fail if the named file already exists.
+ O_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.
+</dl>

+<h2><a name='FileAttributes'>File Attributes</a></h2>
+
+<pre><b><font face="Courier New" size=2 color=#333399>
+<i>&lt;file attributes&gt;</i>
+ <font face=Wingdings>Ø</font> <i>&lt;object&gt;</i>
+</font></b></pre>
+
+<p>All attributes are optional.
+Tools and targets can define additional attributes. Predefined attributes are:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><code><b><font face="Courier New" size=2 color=#333399>"Size" : <i>&lt;int&gt;</i></font></b></code>
+ - file size in bytes
+ <li><code><b><font face="Courier New" size=2 color=#333399>"UID" : <i>&lt;int&gt;</i></font></b></code>
+ - file owner user ID
+ <li><code><b><font face="Courier New" size=2 color=#333399>"GID" : <i>&lt;int&gt;</i></font></b></code>
+ - file owner group ID

+ - file access permissions
+ <li><code><b><font face="Courier New" size=2 color=#333399>"ATime" : <i>&lt;int&gt;</i></font></b></code>

+
+<h2><a name='ErrorCodes'>Error codes</a></h2>
+
+<p>The service uses standard format for error reports,
+see <a href='TCF Services.html#ErrorFormat'>Error Report Format</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Currently, the following values are defined for error code (other values may be
+defined by future versions of this protocol):</p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt><code>STATUS_OK = 0</code>
+ <dd>Indicates successful completion of the operation.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_EOF = 1</code>
+ <dd>Indicates end-of-file condition; for 'read' it means that no
+ more data is available in the file, and for 'readdir' it
+ indicates that no more files are contained in the directory.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE = 2</code>
+ <dd>This code is returned when a reference is made to a file which
+ should exist but doesn't.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_PERMISSION_DENIED = 3</code>
+ <dd>is returned when the authenticated user does not have sufficient
+ permissions to perform the operation.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_FAILURE = 4</code>
+ <dd>is a generic catch-all error message; it should be returned if an
+ error occurs for which there is no more specific error code.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_BAD_MESSAGE = 5</code>
+ <dd>may be returned if a badly formatted packet or protocol
+ incompatibility is detected.
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_NO_CONNECTION = 6</code>
+ <dd>is a pseudo-error which indicates that the client has no
+ connection to the server (it can only be generated locally by the
+ client, and MUST NOT be returned by servers).
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_CONNECTION_LOST = 7</code>
+ <dd>is a pseudo-error which indicates that the connection to the
+ server has been lost (it can only be generated locally by the
+ client, and MUST NOT be returned by servers).
+
+ <dt><code>STATUS_OP_UNSUPPORTED = 8</code>
+ <dd>indicates that an attempt was made to perform an operation which
+ is not supported for the server (it may be generated locally by
+ the client if e.g. the version number exchange indicates that a
+ required feature is not supported by the server, or it may be
+ returned by the server if the server does not implement an
+ operation).
