Hey guys,
I'm working with a file server and I'm mostly a network guy. I need a quick rundown of exactly how exclusive and read/only access works with a file.
When a file is opened a hidden file is created with a ~ character in front of it. Is this a lock file which stops access by anyone else? Also how does the applications know to open just a read-only file?
I did some searching and I can't find a real good rundown which explains mutual and exclusive access to folders. Information about session and open file sessions would be great too.
I need this as fast as possible!
Thanks a lot guys!
