    Expression Definition FS.COMMAND Qualifier. Operates on a file system command. The user can issue multiple commands on a file transfer portal. (For example, ls to list files or mkdir to create a directory). This expression returns the current action that the user is taking. Possible values: Neighbor, login, ls, get, put, rename, mkdir, rmdir, del, logout, any. Following is an example: Add authorization policy pol1 “fs.command eq login && (fs.user eq administrator || fs.serverip eq 10.102.88.221 –netmask 255.255.255.252)” allow FS.USER Returns the user who is logged on to the file system. FS.SERVER Returns the host name of the target server. In the following example, the string win2k3-88-22 is the server name: fs.server eq win2k3-88-221 FS.SERVERIP Returns the IP address of the target server. FS.SERVICE Returns a shared root directory on the file server. If a particular folder is exposed as shared, a user can directly log on to the specified first level folder. This first level folder is called a service. For example, in the path \\hostname\SERVICEX\ETC, SERVICEX is the service. As another example, if a user accesses the file \\hostname\service1\dir1\file1.doc, FS.SERVICE will return service1. Following is an example: fs.service notcontains New FS.DOMAIN Returns the domain name of the target server. FS.PATH Returns the complete path of the file being accessed. For example, if a user accesses the file \\hostname\service1\dir1\file1.doc, FS.PATHwill return \service\dir1\file1.doc. Following is an example: fs.path notcontains SSL Expression Definition FS.FILE Returns the name of the file being accessed.

  • Troubleshooting TCP/IP
    4620-1 ch05.f.qc 10/28/99 12:00 PM Page 157 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting TCP/IP In This Chapter ᮣ Troubleshooting TCP/IP in Windows 2000 Server ᮣ TCP/IP troubleshooting steps ᮣ Defining which is the best TCP/IP troubleshooting tool to solve your problem ᮣ Mastering basic TCP/IP utilities roubleshooting is, it seems, an exercise in matrix mathematics. That is, Twe use a variety of approaches and influences to successfully solve our problems, almost in a mental columns-and-rows format. These approaches may include structured methodologies, inductive and deductive reasoning, common sense, experience, and luck. And this is what troubleshooting is made of. Troubleshooting TCP/IP problems is really no different from troubleshooting other Windows 2000 Server problems mentioned in this book, such as instal- lation failures described in Chapter 2. Needless to say, Windows 2000 Server offers several TCP/IP-related tools and utilities to assist us, but more on the specifics in a moment. TCP/IP Troubleshooting Basics The goal in TCP/IP troubleshooting is very simple: fix the problem. Too often, it is easy to become overly concerned about why something happened instead of just fixing the problem. And by fixing the problem, I mean cost effectively. 1. Be cost effective. Don’t forget that several hours’ worth of MCSE-level consulting could more than pay for the additional bandwidth that may easily solve your TCP/IP WAN-related problem. Don’t overlook such an easy fix when struggling to make a WAN connection between sites utilizing Windows 2000 Server. Too little bandwidth is typically the result of being penny wise and pound foolish.
