 * <p>
 * Yes, these are the "attrib-bits", even though they have "_FLAGS_" in
 * their name. Don't ask - I did not invent it.
 * <p>
 * "<i>These fields, taken together, reflect various attributes of the file
 * or directory, on the server. Bits not set in 'attrib-bits-valid' MUST be
 * ignored in the 'attrib-bits' field.  This allows both the server and the
 * client to communicate only the bits it knows about without inadvertently
 * twiddling bits they don't understand.</i>"
