Open Source Mac File Systems

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

The OFF System for content storage and retrieval, lets you store all digital content and allows only the people authorized to use it to do so. It is the proof of concept for 'bright nets' and will allow anyone to securely share digital data legally.

Blueper is a tool designed to abuse Bluetooth file transferring. This tool can cause several mischievous results, including; continual popups of file transfer requests, writing data to a remote device disk,or locking up/crashing some devices.

The Document Exchange Platform (DEP) provides a workspace for internet users. Documents can be shared via http/https webdav or webinterface. A workflow and role-based access is implemented.

This is a java implement FUSE binding (FileSystem in User Space), again, this can be used as remote file system by io package in this project.

Idas (I Don't Accept Seconds) is a high-performance duplicate file detector. Idas plugs into your favorite Unix filter and can tell you exactly which files have been seen before, regardless of whether or not it appears with the same filename.

J2MEFS is an API for the J2ME that extends the RMS. It lets you save persistent data in your MIDlets without even knowing what a RecordStore is. You can create a structure of directories and access files through names and paths (MIDP 1.0 and above).

Jaffer is a Java implementation of an Appletalk File Server over TCP. Jaffer is concerned with the latest AFP specifications and supporting OS X and OS 9 clients. It is mainly focused on a tight, clean, fast codebase that is very portable and embeddable

Java Virtual System (JVS) is built around a virtual file system (VFS) - a common platform of Java, by Java, for Java. JVS extends JVM and makes it from an interpreter running half-compiled code a first-class server.

Javelina is a dedicated WebDAV server with a focus on providing features that small to medium networks require for file serving. Javelina also provides an intuitive web-based administration interface along with powerful command line tools.

Documentation for the Katie filesystem, originally development by Geoffrey Bennett <geoffrey@netcraft.com.au>, an Open Source replacement for ClearCase.

The Kytane Client is an Open Source front end for the Kytane Data Service which is a internet based data storage mechanism.

LazySync is a pure-Java file-synchronization program written for handheld devices (currently supports the Compaq iPAQ) using the SavaJeXE (www.savaje.com) Java operating system.

Lino is a suite of Python packages for IT professionals who offer business applications for small and medium-sized enterprises.

MDFS is a simple Distributed File System for Linux and Windows. It's not a kernel module, just an app running in the background. You can use it to access (view, download, upload) files on a remote computer, for automatically backup your files, etc...

The Network-Oriented Document Abstraction Language (NODAL) is a set of standards and protocols for ubiquitous collaboration supported by an open source sample implementation.

Webserver mod for a fancy open directory viewing.

p2p-fs is a Peer to Peer file system in user space, using FUSE. Allows you to share files over an LAN and/or WAN. Can be mounted as a normal file system under Linux.

A peer-to-peer file replication (synchronization) engine written in Java. Managed via the web. Keywords: RMI, JSP, Sync, P2P.

In supermodernistic times data has to be cultivated not merely stored. Proper cultivation involves p2p exchange, arbitrary linking, modular referential reusage, lowest-denominator publishing, collaborative authoring. Stefanix is another try to achive this

Sfooi - distributed serverless p2p/file storage operating over protocol similiar (but not identicall) to airhook, using DHT as routing medium.

This is the "Eclipse of Web Browsers", a secure social web browsing and multi-user messaging system. You will need to run your own version of mysql. Development is active and we are seeking project leaders. Please email suprasphere___at___gmail.com.

SynchedIn is a portable utility created to enforce realtime or latent synchronization of data (generally files) between different data storage sources. You can create as many synch configs as you please. Each synch config specifies a number of data sources, a number of schedulers. Each scheduler determines when the data sources must be checked for synchronization. Each data storage source represents a hierarchical (file system ...) or other type of data storage medium. These include hard drive, removable media, sequential devices, online storage services. Perhaps the most distinguishing quality of this utility is POP3 and IMAP storage providers which enable storage of files in a mail server, such as gmail or yahoo, in so much the same way as an online storage service (google drive, drop box ...). Storage providers could be configured for encrypted storage and specification as to what part of the underlying medium the provider represents. Components: GUI+CLI+Daemon+ConfigStorage

ZZ is an open-source WinFS. ZZ relies on the same fundamental idea as WinFS, namely that a graph-oriented data store is more user-friendly than the usual tree model.

insaneFS is a fully decentralized peer-to-peer filesystem based on top of FUSE. It provides POSIX file semantics, including mutable files and directories. It does all this while providing a unified global hierarchy.
