FWGETACC

Gets and saves the last access dates for files on all volumes and servers to which you are currently attached.

FWRESACC

Restores the last access date to the files in all volumes and servers to which you are currently attached These are valuable tools for anyone running backups or virus scans because those operations change the access date on every file they touch That means you lose valuable information about which files have been used recently on your network.

FWCHGUSR

Allows the supervisor to change the user or owner of the files in a directory During server maintenance, the ownership of files is often changed to the administrator or supervisor This simple utility allows the system administrator to change the user name for all files or specified files in a directory, to a specific user Keeping file ownership up to date and having the ability to modify it is useful when you have charge backs to users for storage space.

FWACC2UP

Changes the date of the last access to the date of the last update If you have not been using Knozalls tools to get and restore access dates, and they have been changed by a virus scan or backup, you can change the access date to the last update so that you can track which files are really used.

FWFIND

Searches all attached volumes and servers to find files that match a given file spec, i.e orphan files The default search looks through every server and volume that can be seen Administrators can search the entire network with one command rather than searching volume by volume or server by server As part of the file search the administrator can prompt for a delete when the file is found, or specify servers or volumes to search on, or limit the search to files belonging to an invalid user.

FWCPYVOL

Copies all files between volumes on the same server and maintains owners and attributes If you need to do maintenance on one volume, this can be useful to create a quick backup of that volume instead of going through a backup or mirroring routine.

FWFILER

Provides a tree view with information about files and directories that you cant get from NetWare This tool gives you; owners, size, name, type, time, date, extension, slack space, total space used, and total space available The detailed information is sortable by size, name, type, time, date, and slack space Summary information is also displayed: total number of files, bytes, subdirectories, users, read only files, execute only files, hidden files, and sharable files You can also see the same detailed information for subdirectories and their files You can also view the users in a directory or volume, view a file, or rename a file This information will allow you to finetune your network For example, if you have a lot of slack space you can change your block allocation to make your storage space more efficient.

FWLIMITS

Searches the specified server/volume for space limits on directory and user It allows the administrator to quickly see who has exceeded their space quota on the server The Wizards Tool Belt: Eight powerful network utilities that give you the magic of simplicity.
