AFS, or the Andrew File System, is a secure, cross-platform, network-based distributed file system that enables computers running the AFS client to share access to files and data stored on AFS server machines across a local-area or wide-area network.
Your acpub account includes storage space on Duke servers for your personal files. AFS gives you access to these files from the computer labs or any other computer connected to DukeNet.
When you install the AFS client on your personal computer, you get instant, easy, and most importantly, secure access to those files. Your acpub directory will appear to be just another directory on your hard drive – you no longer have to use cumbersome and non-secure FTP software or carry piles of disks around campus with you.
