The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), formerly AppleTalk Filing Protocol, is a proprietary network protocol, and part of the Apple File Service (AFS), that offers file services for macOS, classic Mac OS, and Apple IIs. In OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and earlier, AFP was the primary protocol for file services. Starting with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Server Message Block (SMB) was made the primary file sharing protocol, with the ability to run an AFP server removed later in macOS 11 Big Sur. The latest version of Apple's OS at the time of writing, macOS Ventura, is still able to authenticate with and connect to AFP servers. AFP supports Unicode file names, POSIX and access control list permissions, resource forks, named extended attributes, and advanced file locking.
