Viewing Directories and Files Data

The Directory Tree

The directory tree is located on the left of the page. It shows the structure of the current drives displayed as a directory tree.

To obtain information about the drive or directory:

Right-click on the directory and select the Properties option. The Properties dialog box appears.

If the drive is a shared drive, then a Sharing tab is also made available.

Icons Used in the Viewer to Denote Directory Status

Different icons are used to denote directory status as follows:

Icon	Directory status
	Indicates a drive
	Indicates a shared drive
	Indicates a normal directory
	Indicates a shared directory.
	Indicates filtered or ignored directories (as specified in the Scanner Generator). Data in the filtered directories is not stored in the scan file. This icon also represents mount points in Windows 2000 or UNIX scans. Mount points are automatically filtered.
	In UNIX scans, files (and directories) may be located on several different file systems. To link files that are in different file systems a symbolic link is made. This icon is displayed for directories that are symbolic links. You can follow the link by right-clicking on the directory and selecting the Follow Link to <link> option.

The File List

The file list is located in the top right of the page. It shows a list of files in the selected directory.

The file list has incremental column search.

To use incremental column search to locate an entry in a column directly:

Click on any row, and type the word(s) or number(s) that you want to find.

The name is displayed on the status bar.

You can obtain information about a file by right-clicking the file and selecting the Properties option. You can also do this by double-clicking on the file.

For files that belong to packages, you can use the Go to installed package menu item on the right-click shortcut menu to view information about the package. This is displayed on the Hardware and Configuration tab.

Archive Files

The contents of archive files are displayed, but no signatures are shown. However, if a checksum is shown, this refers to the archive checksum.

UNIX Scans

For files in UNIX scans, you can obtain link information about the file by right-clicking on the file and selecting the Follow link option.

This option is only available for files with the L attribute (indicates a symbolic link file). You can also do this by double-clicking on the file. The link information is displayed in the file information pane.

Parameters Displayed for Each File

The parameters displayed for each file are:

File Name – the name of the scanned file.
Size – the size of the scanned file.
Modified – the last modified date and time that is stored for the file in the file system.
Attribute – file attributes (see Table 44).
Exe/Arc – the type of the executable or archive file.
Signature – a number that is calculated from the first 8 Kbytes of a file (usually sufficient to uniquely identify a file).
Created – date and time when this file was created.
Last Accessed – date and time when this file was last accessed on this system.
Package – name and version of the package to which this file belongs.

Attribute	Meaning
r	Read-only files Files that are marked read-only are protected from modification or deletion.
h	Hidden files Windows Explorer does not show hidden files by default unless you tell it to do so.
s	System files
u	Used/Executed files This flag shows that this file was executed and the application was used.
v	Volume Label This contains no data and no more than one may exist on a disk volume (and only in the root directory).
a	If it has the archive attribute of DOS or Windows The Archive attribute is used to provide an automatic record of what files have been modified since the last backup.
c	Compressed files These are compressed files and folders. For example, if it is a file on a compressed NTFS volume.
x	In a UNIX system this represents a file with the executable attribute set.
I	Internal data available That is, if it has version data available for it. Version data (as per Windows Explorer) is displayed for all files having this attribute.
L	Symbolic link in UNIX Files (and directories) may be located on several different file systems. To link files that are in different file systems a symbolic link is made. Symbolic links to files are not scanned but are stored with this attribute and are displayed in the directory tree of the Directories and Files page with a shortcut icon.
s	This is special case for UNIX for SetUid files. In UNIX scans, certain files have special attributes that mean that they run with root privilege. Such files are potentially a security risk and the Scanner assigns them the system attribute - s
A	This file has been identified as an archive.
C	This file has been identified inside an archive.
X	This file has been identified as an executable file.
D	This file has been identified as a device driver
