Examples of Transarc naming conventions

The Andrew Distributed File System, commonly known as afs, supports a special directory name known as @sys. If this is specified in a file or directory name, it will be automatically translated as shown in the table below. N.B. this table is not a complete list of all supported system types. The same convention is followed on the asisftp ftp server at CERN.

If you have afs installed on your system, you may obtain the correct value of @sys as shown below:
