## Apple Filing Protocol Library - afpfs-ng - libafpclient
### Description
AFPFS is a client implementation of the Apple Filing Protocol written in C which
can be used to access AFP shares exposed by multiple devices, notably Mac OS X
computers, linux devices exporting shares with netatalk, Apple Airport and
Time Capsule products as well as other NAS devices from various vendors.
### Changelog
This is afpfs-ng-0.8.2, it brings IPV6 support and includes many bugfixes.
Read NEWS for more details.
### Installation
Pretty standard unix stuff:
```bash
./configure && make && sudo make install && echo 'done!'
```
Use --disable-fuse and/or --disable-gcrypt if your system cannot meet those dependancies.
(note that disabling gcrypt will prevent you from using login/password auth.)
The command line tool needs ncurses-dev and libreadline-dev to compile. Install them
with sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev libreadline-dev on ubuntu/debian.
### Usage
You can either use afpfs to mount an AFP share with fuse or with the command-line client.
#### fuse
Mount the time_travel volume from delorean.local (in this example, my time capsule's hostname)
on /mnt/timetravel without authentication:
```bash
$ mount_afp afp://delorean.local/time_travel /mnt/timetravel
```
Same, with authentication:
```bash
$ mount_afp afp://simon:[email protected]/time_travel /mnt/timetravel
```
Same, with authentication, forcing the UAM of your choice (usually not needed):
```bash
$ mount_afp afp://simon;AUTH=DHX2:[email protected]/time_travel /mnt/timetravel
```
Unmount the volume:
```bash
$ fusermount -u /mnt/timetravel
```
#### command line client
Open volume time_travel on delorean.local:
```bash
$ afpcmd afp://simon:[email protected]/time_travel
```
Connect anonymously to delorean.local, list all available volumes:
```bash
$ afpcmd afp://simon:[email protected]/
```
cd to change directories, ls to list, get file to retrieve file, put file to put file...
and help for a list of supported commands.
### Credits and license
This is a fork of the original afpfs-ng project that has gone unmaintained
for quite some time. It is so far the only available open source AFP client.
This repository includes many patches collected by the XBMC project
(www.xbmc.org) as well as mine, in a bid to improve stability, performance and
to implement new features.
