File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM)
In some UNIX and NFS implementations, the term file system means the same thing
as fileset. That is, a file system is a logical grouping of files that, except for the root of
the file system, can be contained only by directories within the file system. See also
fileset.
File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM). The Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
for network file exchange and management services.
file transfer protocol (FTP). (1) The Internet-standard, high-level protocol for transferring
files from one machine to another. The server side requires the client to supply a logon
identifier and password before it honors requests. FTP makes no assumptions about
the file-naming structure of the source and destination systems, and it allows the file
names of each system to be represented in the vernacular. (2) The application used to
send complete files over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
services.
filler panel. A blank faceplate that is installed in place of a computer component to ensure
proper ventilation.
fingerprint. A unique identifier calculated for a file and displayed in hexadecimal format.
FIPS. A Federal Information Processing Standard of the United States government.
FIPS 151-1. The Federal Information Processing Standard that specifies the requirements
for conformance to an older draft of POSIX.1 (IEEE Std. 1003.1-1988) than the version
adopted as ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 and imposes some additional requirements.
FIPS 151-2. The Federal Information Processing Standard that specifies the requirements
for conformance to POSIX.1 as ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 and imposes some additional
requirements.
FIR. See FRU information record (FIR).
FIRINIT. A diagnostic task used to update the communications line interface processor
(CLIP) FRU information record (FIR) that is kept in the ServerNet wide area network
(SWAN) concentrator communications line interface processor (CLIP) flash memory.
FIRMUP. A diagnostic task used to update the copy of the Portable Silicon Operating
System (pSOS) system product embedded kernel that is kept in the ServerNet wide
area network (SWAN) concentrator communications line interface processor (CLIP)
flash memory.
firmware. Code in memory that is necessary for the power-up initialization and
communication with a host or device. The software for components of the ServerNet
architecture (for example, an adapter) is called firmware. Some firmware for ServerNet
components is downloaded when the system or component is loaded.
