Getting information about Mac directories on a NTFS Server ?

[Kent Sorensen]

Hi,

I need to get information about Macintosh files and directories on a NTFS
server...

I know about the AFP_Resource and AFP_AfpInfo streams for getting
information about files.

The AFP_AfpInfo will give me the FInfo structure with the file type,
creator and such, but my question is how do I get the corresponding DInfo
structure with information about a directory ?

The DInfo is the most important to me but I may also need the FXInfo and
DXInfo structures. Any way to accomplish this ?

Thanks in advance

Same place, actually. In the AFP_AfpInfo stream.

It gets kinda hard speaking this way though, because technically the
FXInfo/DXInfo structures don't exist on the Server. They're Finder
structures, and certain fields don't have any meaning except when the
Finder has a window open on the folder. Of course, certain fields in
the Directory bitmap seem to piggyback on NTFS entries as well. It
would be nice if all this were documented a bit.

Which fields were you interested in?
