campus: Attributescampus maintains certain attributes on files when they are uploaded or downloaded. Some of these attributes are global and some are user specific. The following lists will describe the attributes in detail.
Security of the internal attributesAs the information that is kept in the attributes are private data of your ftp server users of your system will not be allowed to download or even list these attributes, but only if you have the maintaining of the attributes enabled globally or for the user that is logged in. In this case all attributes that start with "campus:" will be filtered out.When an attribute that starts with "campus:" is uploaded, it is silently ignored. Note: This policy is open to discussions, please write your comments to campus@stegemann.net. Global attributes
User specific attributesNote: User specific attributes may be useful when you have a larfe userbase and want to differenciate between these users. The downside on this is that no extra attributes written for user specific attributes, you have to add them manually for now.
Extra attributes informationTo be able to few the attributes in Tracker windows, there must be at least one file in that directory that has the corresponding Extra Attributes set. You can check these attributes in the FileTypes program from Preferences.campus allows you to set the informations necessary for that automatically with the InstallExtraAttributes keyword for any MIME type. Because it is not possible to have these extra attribute informations on all file types you have to specifiy the types you want to add the extra attribute infos on. Note: This is only needed for display reasons, it is independant from campus actually writing the attributes!
