I moved the article back to Apple Filing Protocol. I am aware of the page at http://www.apple.com/business/mac_pc/networking.html but I think Apple has made a mistake here since it is referred to as Apple Filing Protocol in many other places including in formal specification documents. -- Ali@gwc.org.uk 10:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Unless wikipedia is going to become a central security repository, I doubt that the paragraph outlining a single security vulnerability is of any use. Suggest junking the entire section.
The article provided as a reference quotes 2 GB. This is ambiguous. Unless it can be shown that this article means 2^31 bytes, this must remain 2 GB. Changing values without reference is original research. -- Steven Fisher 21:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The article states that AFP is a Presentation Layer protocol, but isn't it really an Application Layer Protocol? Bobbyrullo 07:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
There's typically a kernel VFS (virtual filesystem) layer interposed above AFP, assuming you're talking about the client side, so I would say it's closer to a presentation layer protocol, but the OSI model doesn't map well onto TCP/IP anyway, so it's almost a moot point.... :-) Dgatwood ( talk) 05:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't fully understand this, but in Tiger the protocol was "afp:/at/<server>:*" but in Leopard you must use two slashes. I can't even get the "connect to server" dialog to connect at all now! This change should be more clearly described in the article. - kslays ( talk) 15:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to suggest that we rewrite this article. There's nothing wrong with the facts within (and we should preserve them), but the flow and general organization make it hard to read and expand.
I'd suggest an overview that looks something like:
There's a fair amount written on AFP out there already, but there's no one reference that puts all the information together in a guided coherent way. This could be it.

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has dropped compatibility with AFP older than v3.0. Pre-OS X Macs are limited to v2, so file-sharing with them is no longer possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.163.57.193 ( talk) 19:50, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

It would be super helpful if someone could update (with references) the current status of AFP. Articles from around 2013 talked about Apple starting to drop AFP in favor of SMB2 in Mavericks. For example: "apple-shifts-from-afp-file-sharing-to-smb2-in-os-x-109-mavericks" Did this happen? Has the transition gone further? Was that abandoned in favor of AFPS? Thanks.
