BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade backup system for backing up Linux, WinXX PCs, Macs and laptops to a server's disk. Features include clever pooling of identical files, no client-side software, and a powerful Apache/CGI user interface.

The Sleuth Kit is a C++ library and collection of open source file system forensics tools that allow you to, among other things, view allocated and deleted data from NTFS, FAT, FFS, EXT2, Ext3, HFS+, and ISO9660 images.

FATSort is a small utilitiy for Linux that sorts directory structures of FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and exFAT file systems. It is written in C and can be run from the command line.

Unhide hidden and system files and remove unnecessary shortcut files caused by virus, malware on your USB drive. Head to the link below for the product page for more details.

AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside gzip, tar, zip, etc. files or view remote (ftp, http, dav, etc.) files, without recompiling the programs.

Please note that OWFS source code, and all Issue/Tickets/merge requests have now been moved to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/. Developer mailing lists will still be kept at Sourceforge. ---- OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows. Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet. There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc

explore2fs Portable Edition is the explore2fs Linux ext2 and ext3 filesystem explorer packaged with an OTBSoft Launcher as a portable app, so you can take it with you on a USB drive, iPod, etc and use it on any computer.

IMG4DC is a tools package containing two utilities to generate selfboot disc images for your Sega Dreamcast: cdi4dc, designed to make Padus DiscJuggler (CDI) images and mds4dc, designed to make Alcohol 120% (MDS/MDF) images. A selfboot image is a disc image format specially prepared to boot on your Dreamcast. In clear, by burning a selfboot image to a standard blank CD-R, the software containted into this disc image will run onto your Dreamcast, as a legit game disc, without any modchip or other hacking device. To use this software package, you must have mkisofs from the cdrtools project. This tool will create the ISO image needed by img4dc.

FileSystem is an OPENSOURCE program for advanced disk management with built-in drivers for PATA IDE Hard Disks and DVD/CDROM Drives, USB Mass Storage Drivers. Implemented file systems : FAT32 / ISO9660 / EXT2. It can be compiled for DOS, LINUX, WIN32

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

mac-robber is a digital forensics and incident response tool that can be used with The Sleuth Kit to create a timeline of file activity for mounted file systems.

FTimes is a forensic system baselining, searching, and evidence collection tool. Its primary purpose is to gather and/or develop topographical information and attributes about specified directories and files in a manner conducive to intrusion and forensic analysis.

MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, highly performing, scaling-out, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts as other Unix-alike file systems: * A hierarchical structure (directory tree) * Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times) Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets) * Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS) * Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password MooseFS on GitHub: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs Packages repository, download: https://moosefs.com/download Documentation: https://moosefs.com/support Recent changes: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs/blob/master/NEWS

Provide access to long file names under real-mode DOS. Supported file systems: FAT12/16/32, ISO9660, Joliet. Supported operations: dir, copy, mkdir, rmdir, ren, cd, del.

Named Binary Tag (NBT) is a binary format designed for and used by the game Minecraft to store various data including worlds, player data and many other things. This project provides a way to access those data by simply mounting the corresponding data file as a file system, then reading and writing any value as usual file system nodes. By combining with standard Unix file operation tools, batch editing or copying massive amount of data is very easy, comparing to other generic NBT editing tools. The file system (NBTFS) implementation (mount.nbt(8)) is based on FUSE. NBT parser and writer are originally written by Lukas Niederbremer as cNBT project which this project is based on.

Development moved to https://github.com/eduardocasino/vmsmount VMSMOUNT is an installable file system for DOS that allows access to VMware's shared folders as a normal drive letter.

Free functionally equivalent clone of the Microsoft MS-DOS Shell targeting FreeDOS primarily, but freely usable in any DOS flavor.

Wcd is another Norton Change Directory (NCD) clone. Wcd is a command-line program to change directory fast. It includes a full screen interactive directory tree browser with speed search and a fast way to choose between multiple matches.

Python FAM provides a Python module to use the File Alteration Monitor (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam) in Python.

Development of UNFS3 has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/unfs3/unfs3 UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It provides a unified mountd and nfsd program and so far runs under Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris.

Compact implementation of the ext2 filesystem in user space, using the FUSE library. Uses include providing ext2/ext3 support on platforms which do not support it and as a base for filesystem projects.

OpenTMS is a full-function tape management system, similar to the tape management functionality long supported on mainframe computers. It provides commands and an API for storing and retrieving files / data objects to tape volumes in a tape library.

"amiga-smbfs" is an Amiga file system client for the SMB protocol, as used by "Samba" or the various Microsoft Windows operating systems for file and printer sharing services.

Develop cross-platform tools faster using a C++ Framework proven in commercial software. Classes support logging, sockets, RFC servers (NNTP, SMTP, POP, HTTP), object indexing, ini, tagged databases, file systems, and more. The STDNOJ Namespace, by R.A. Nagy
