TCP/IP has several protocols that you can use to access files on remote systems. The protocol you use depends on the type of access the remote system allows.
If the remote system is set up as an FTP server, use the FTP Client to connect to the system. You can get files from the system, or put files on it, depending on the rights the owner of the FTP server gives you. See "Copying Files Using FTP" on page 52.
You can also use the FTP Server to transfer files between your workstation and a remote system to which you can Telnet but not FTP. See "Copying Files Between Your Workstation and a Remote System with FTP Server" on page 63.
If you want to connect to a file system available from an NFS server, use NFS and Print Assistant to connect the file system to your workstation, so that you can be use it like any drive on your workstation. See "Copying Files Between Your Workstation and Networked Drives with NFS" on page 65.
You can also use Pronto Mail to send files as attachments to mail messages, or Enhanced Mosaic to download files from World- Wide Web, FTP, and Gopher servers. See "Copying Files with Mail Attachments" on page 76 and "Transferring Files with Enhanced Mosaic" on page 75.
If you have files you want other users to access, use the FTP Server. You can restrict users to specific directories, and control what they can do with the files in those directories. See "Letting Other Users Access Files on Your Workstation" on page 78.
