    Apple File Services Server
    (/usr/sbin/AppleFileServer)
    The core AFP server application, which is a daemon process.

    Server Control API Framework
    (System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ServerControl)
    The Server Control API framework is shared with QuickTime Streaming server

    Remote Admin CGI
    (/System/Library/RemoteAdminServer/CGI-Executables/)
    A lightweight pass-through process that is invoked by the web server and in turn transmits requests to the Web-Based Admin Server. It also receives the reply from the Web-based Admin Server and transmits it back to the web server, which then sends the reply back to the browser.

    Remote Admin Server (/System/Library/RemoteAdminServer/FastCGI/RemoteAdminServer)
    Handles authentication and majority of admin tasks.

    Remote Admin Java and Image Files (/System/Library/RemoteAdminServer//Documents/)
    Java classes are used for authentication and password encryption.

    Log Files: There are two log files kept by the server:
    • The AFP server creates a log file at /Local/Library/AppleFileServices/AppleFileAccess.log and logs key events if the "Enable Log" preference is set in Remote Administration.
    • The server error log file is located at /Local/Library/AppleFileServices/AppleFileError.log. This log is always enabled.
