The AppleShare protocol is a communications protocol
from Apple Computer that allows client applications in a computer to exchange
files with and request services from server programs in a computer network.
AppleShare can be used over the Internet on top of the TCP/IP protocol,
or on top of other network protocols such as Internetwork Packet Exchange
and AppleTalk. Using the AppleShare protocol, a user can access files,
applications, printers, and other resources on a remote server. It can
communicate with any server program that is set up to receive an AppleShare
client request. |
