What's a unix/linux filer? Example?
It was a spelling error, I'm terrible good at this :-)
It should be unix/linux files
They have information about owner , group, and time in a format
that make it possible to know when a file was modified, and accessed
and when the permissions where changed last.
Windows also have some time flags, but are in local time, without
info about where on the earth that localtime is , so you can't compare
2 files from different timezones.
Not usable for Enterprise networking in large projects.
Windows is NOT a multiuser OS , so there is no owner to a file.
And you have a bit telling if this is data/text, or an executable.
Mounting a vfat so all files is 777 will make you execute random text with fatal errors, and you can download trojans in your browser that can be executed
by misstake.
So, will you make linux as windows, and get blasted/owned the first day,
or adopt to a better designed system, and ONLY use vfat as a transfer
area for files ?
Windows can very well read and write ext filesystems to with additional
software, but you must know what you are doing when using it, or you
will mess up linux with it.
