“AFS is a distributed file system similar to a Windows or UNIX file server that allows Windows and UNIX computers to use the same file space. Casual Windows and UNIX users will see little difference between working with files on the local hard drive and working with files stored in AFS space. AFS can serve as a central place to store files for you or your department, which are then available from any computer, Windows or UNIX, running the AFS client software. Additionally, AFS offers more advanced users enhanced capabilities to manage file permissions, group access to directories, and disk quotas.” For more information, see the source of the above quote, Introduction to AFS.
