Apple II File Type Notes _____________________________________________________________________________ Developer Technical Support File Type: $E2 (226) Auxiliary Type: $FFFF Full Name: EasyMount document Short Name: EasyMount document Written by: Dave Lyons May 1992 Files of this type and auxiliary type contain EasyMount documents used by the System 6.0 EasyMount Finder extension. _____________________________________________________________________________ The EasyMount Finder extension in System 6.0 creates EasyMount documents and uses them to let the user quickly connect to shared disks. THE FILE FORMAT An EasyMount document has the following format. In future versions, more data may be added to the end. serverName (+000) String Name of server to connect to. entityName (+xxx) String Always "AFPServer". Immediately follows serverName. zoneName (+xxx) String Name of zone containing server. Immediately follows entityName. volumeName (+097) 28 Bytes Name String of specific volume to use on the server. This field takes 28 bytes regardless of the length of the String. userName (+125) 32 Bytes User name String to connect with. This field takes 32 bytes regardless of the length of the String. serverPassword (+157) 8 Bytes Password to connect with (padded with trailing zero bytes; all zeros to connect as Guest). volumePassword (+165) 8 Bytes Volume password (padded with trailing zero bytes). Most servers do not use volume passwords, and EasyMount always fills this field with zeros. Note that the userName field is big enough for a 31-character user name (with length byte). Although 32-character user names are valid under AppleShare, EasyMount can't deal with them (for historical reasons). Passwords are stored UNENCRYPTED in EasyMount documents; finding one with a saved password is the same as finding that user's password to the server. Please take appropriate security precautions if you save passwords in EasyMount documents.
