AFP, reporting on a news story in the Sunday, 3 April 2004, issue of The New Yorker, wrote that retired Army Colonel Hy Rothstein, " who served in the Army Special Forces for more than 20 years, ... commissioned by The Pentagon to examine the war in Afghanistan concluded the conflict created conditions that have given ' warlordism, banditry and opium production a new lease on life ' ...."

AFP versions 3. 0 and greater rely exclusively on TCP / IP ( port 548 or 427 ) for establishing communication, supporting AppleTalk only as a service discovery protocol.

# Computers using classic Mac OS can connect to AFP 3. x servers, with some limitations.

Typically, Mac OS 9. 1 or later is recommended for connecting to AFP 3. x servers ; for versions of original Mac OS prior to 9. 1, installation of the AppleShare client 3. 8. 8 is required.

# AFP 3. 0 and later is required for network home directories, since Mac OS X requires POSIX permissions on user home directories.

Single sign-on using Kerberos requires AFP 3. 1.

Changes made in AFP since version 3. 0 represent major advances in the protocol, introducing features designed specifically for Mac OS X clients.

AFP 3. 0 was introduced in Mac OS X Server 10. 0. 3, and was used through Mac OS X Server 10. 1. 5.

) Before AFP 3. 0, 31 bytes was the maximum length of a filename sent over AFP.

AFP 3. 2 adds support for Access Control Lists and extended attributes in Mac OS X Server 10. 4.

AFP 3. 2 + was introduced in Mac OS X Leopard and adds case sensitivity support and improves support for Time Machine ( synchronization, lock stealing, and sleep notifications ).

AFP 3. 3 mandates support for Replay Cache functionality ( required for Time Machine ).

* An open source AFP server called Netatalk ( AFP 3. 3 ) is available for Unix-like operating systems.

* GroupLogic ExtremeZ-IP ( AFP 3. 3 ) and MacServerIP for Windows offer AFP 3. x support.

The Apple Filing Protocol ( AFP ), formerly AppleTalk Filing Protocol, is the protocol for communicating with AppleShare file servers.

Built on top of AppleTalk Session Protocol ( for legacy AFP over DDP ) or the Data Stream Interface ( for AFP over TCP ), it provides services for authenticating users ( extensible to different authentication methods including two-way random-number exchange ) and for performing operations specific to the Macintosh HFS filesystem.

AFP is still in use in Mac OS X, even though most other AppleTalk protocols have been deprecated.

ASP was an intermediate protocol, built on top of ATP, which in turn was the foundation of AFP.

The privatized national pension system ( AFP ) has encouraged domestic investment and contributed to an estimated total domestic savings rate of approximately 21 % of GDP.

Then NTPF became the Afloat Prepositioning Force ( AFP ) and eventually Maritime Prepositioning ship Squadron Two ( MPSRON 2 ) consisting of 20 deep-water pre-positioned logistics ships anchored in the lagoon.

The same story said that the regiment consisted of three Rapid Intervention Companies ( CIR ) and AFP said it was ' considered the elite troops of the Malian army.

However, a report from the French AFP news agency stated that " The Turkish judicial authorities still haven't explained exactly which legal resources he had access to ", and former minister of Justice Hikmet Sami Türk, in government at the time of Ağca's extradition, claimed that, from a legal viewpoint, his liberation was a " serious mistake " at best, and that he should have not been freed before 2012.

In January 2002, over 1, 200 soldiers from the United States Special Operations Command Pacific ( SOCPAC ) deployed to the Philippines to support the Armed Forces of the Philippines ( AFP ) in their push to uproot terrorist forces on the island of Basilan.

The operation consisted of training the AFP in counter-terrorist operations as well as supporting the local people with humanitarian aid in Operation Smiles.

In January 2002, 1, 200 members of United States Special Operations Command, Pacific ( SOCPAC ) were deployed to the Philippines to assist the Armed Forces of the Philippines ( AFP ) in uprooting al-Qaeda, Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf.

The stated goals of the deployment were denying the ASG sanctuary, surveiling, controlling, and denying ASG routes, surveiling supporting villages and key personnel, conducting local training to overcome AFP weaknesses and sustain AFP strengths, supporting operations by the AFP " strike force " ( LRC ) in the area of responsibility ( AOR ), conducting and supporting civil affairs operations in the AOR.

The desired result was for the AFP to gain sufficient capability to locate and destroy the ASG, to recover hostages and to enhance the legitimacy of the Philippine government.

They typically provide access to files using network file sharing protocols such as NFS, SMB / CIFS ( Server Message Block / Common Internet File System ), or AFP.

These tools simplify access to key network services, including a mail transfer agent, AFP and SMB servers, an LDAP server, a domain name server, and others.

Many common network services are provided such as NTP, SNMP, web server ( Apache ), mail server ( Postfix and Cyrus ), LDAP ( OpenLDAP ), AFP, and print server.

Other agencies work cooperatively with large media companies, generating their news centrally and sharing local news stories the major news agencies may chose to pick up and redistribute ( i. e. AP, Agence France-Presse ( AFP ) or American Press Agency ( APA )).

Alternative remote file access protocols include the Server Message Block ( SMB, also known as CIFS ), Apple Filing Protocol ( AFP ), NetWare Core Protocol ( NCP ), and OS / 400 File Server file system ( QFileSvr. 400 ).

SMB and NetWare Core Protocol ( NCP ) occur more commonly than NFS on systems running Microsoft Windows ; AFP occurs more commonly than NFS in Macintosh systems ; and QFileSvr. 400 occurs more commonly in AS / 400 systems.

A grade 1 immature teratoma that appears to be benign ( e. g., because AFP is not elevated ) has a much higher risk of malignancy, and requires adequate follow-up.

The only AFP candidate that was running in the 2006 general election was Martin Scott McClellan for Brevard County School Board-District 1 in Florida.

Early implementations of AFP server software were available in Mac OS starting with System 6, in AppleShare and AppleShare IP, and in early " 1. x " releases of Mac OS X Server.

These AFP implementations relied on version 1. x or 2. x of the protocol.

AppleShare IP 5. x, 6. x, and the " 1. x " releases of Mac OS X Server introduced AFP version 2. 2.

* A few NAS solutions support AFP mostly by means of Netatalk: LaCie EtherNet Disk & 12big ( AFP 3. 3 ), NETGEAR's ReadyNAS ( AFP 3. 2 ), QNAP ( AFP 3. x ), Synology's Disk Stations ( AFP 3. 1 ), Thecus ( AFP 3. x ), Adaptec's Snap Server ( AFP 3. 1 ), Exanet's ExaStore ( AFP 3. 1 ), Iomega's Home Media Network Hard Drive, and Apple's Time Capsule ( AFP 3. 2 ) being commercial examples and FreeNAS and napp-it ( which use Netatalk ) being free software examples.
