If you need a powerful yet simple way to communicate and exchange information, you'll find AppleShare IP 6.0 software an invaluable tool. Just install any combination of its integrated file, print, mail, and web servers as needed. Basic setup takes only minutes, and all administration is done through a single, easy-to-use interface. The services of AppleShare IP 6.0 work over TCP/IP and AppleTalk networks, and its native SMB support for Windows clients means it looks just like a Windows NT file server in the Network Neighborhood on Windows.
Because it offers SMB and FTP as well as traditional AppleShare file sharing, AppleShare IP 6.0 lets authorized users access information via an AppleTalk network, your intranet, or the Internet. Version 6.0 is optimized for exceptional performance across today's high-speed networks. The included AppleShare Client software for Mac OS-based computers automatically uses the faster TCP/IP protocol when both it and AppleTalk are available. For FTP clients, files are encoded on the fly, eliminating the need to store separate files for AFP and FTP users.
Printers and workstations can be on any combination of AppleTalk and TCP/IP networks. AppleShare IP 6.0 software can reduce time wasted waiting for printouts by automatically sending each print job to the next available printer.
Electronic mail has become an indispensable service for any organization. AppleShare IP 6.0 supports the SMTP, POP, and IMAP protocols, allowing you to select the best client- or host-based solution for your users. Intelligent mail handling saves bandwidth and disk space when the same message is going to multiple recipients. Flexible and powerful administrative features ensure that your mail system continues to run smoothly.
AppleShare IP 6.0 software even includes a built-in web server so your organization can set up its own intranet and Internet web sites to share information. Built-in support for plug-ins and CGIs lets you add your own powerful features to the server, while storage of all web files in one protected folder protects other files on the server from access by web users.
For maximum ease of use, all AppleShare services share the same administrative console. You can set up basic services in minutes and assign privileges for any service through a consolidated "Users and Groups" list. You can even use the same list for multiple functions within one server, such as defining both access privileges and group e-mail addresses.
