A Novell NetWare workstation utility used to manage the NetWare file system. Almost any task related to the file system can be performed using FILER. Administrators can view information about files, directories, and volumes; modify and view attributes, rights, and trustee assignments for files and directories; search for files and directories; copy files; and recover and purge deleted files. In NetWare 3.x, these last two functions are found in the SALVAGE and PURGE commands.
