What is in ProNFS

ProNFS is an integrated and powerful 32-bit software tool consisting of the following functional parts:

Telnet virtual terminal emulator

Telnet is a communications and terminal emulation program. It allows you to connect to and communicate with hosts that support the Telnet protocol, to initiate and control a remote login session. While you are using Telnet, you can:

- set some options for particular implementations of Telnet
- change fonts of text displayed in the Telnet window
- select a terminal emulation mode in the Telnet session.

The Telnet program can emulate XTERM, AT386, ANSI, VT52, VT100, VT125, VT220 and VT240 terminals for character-mode applications. Advanced users can edit the terminal capabilities description file to suit to the special environment.

By using the Keyboard Mapping option (i.e., keymap editor invoking), you can load, change (re-define keys and create a new keyboard layout), and save any keyboard definition file.

ARPANET standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) user interface

The FTP program is a client implementation of the File Transfer Protocol. It allows you to transfer both text and binary files between your PC and a remote computer running the server implementation of FTP. By using the FTP program, you can:

- set up parameters and modes for operations
- make/change a directory on your PC (local) or FTP server
- remove local/remote directory
- view file lists in a remote directory
- transfer (copy/rename/delete) selected local/remote files
- append files to the remote machine.

While you are connected, you can perform a number of tasks (commands) on the FTP server, using various server's options.

DARPA standard Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) user interface

The TFTP program allows you to transfer both text and binary files between your PC and a remote computer running the server implementation of TFTP.

LPR remote printing program

LPR is a network printing program that allows access to printers attached to remote computers on your network. The computers must support the Berkeley Line Printer protocol. You can enter data required to get access to a remote printer (choose a target printer), specify job options (number of copies, titles and banner pages, file type) and print one or several files residing on your PC, view print jobs in the queue, remove jobs from the queue.

LPD - Network Print Server

LPD is a Network Print Server (daemon) that allows access to printers (accessible at your computer) across TCP/IP network. The remote computers must have the LPR program that supports the Berkeley Line Printer protocol.

While using LPD, you can:

- change the Printer list and printer parameters (add/remove a network printer, change settings of network printers)
- enable or disable printing of files from remote hosts
- specify the list of users which can print files on your networked printers.

The Ping program

You can test that the TCP/IP transport is installed and configured correctly by using the Ping utility. While running, Ping sends a sequence of data packets to the host with the time interval specified. When the connection between your PC and the host exists, PC will receive a response after every packet sent. If Ping finds the host or IP address, it will return the appropriate message.

Startup

Startup is a program for automating host access with using the REXEC, RSH, or RLOGIN protocol. By using the Startup program, you can:

- enter one or more commands in a single line and execute them on a host
- run a local startup file (with a sequence of executable commands on a host)
- create/save/select/remove/open/execute startup jobs.

Startup job is a task with a certain set of parameters (start method, login information, command line, settings). You can create a job (i.e. store current parameters under a certain name). A job may be launched by clicking on its icon.

Network File System Server

The NFS-Server is a network file server that supports the NFS protocol version 3. It has a multi-threaded code developed for the Win32 environment and is designed to work with the built-in MS Windows TCP/IP-32 protocol stack.

The main feature of the NFS-Server utility is to provide access to hard disk space and files residing on your PC to users working on other network nodes under different operating systems (with NFS client support and TCP/IP).

The NFS-Server can be installed on any MS Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT and XP workstation to share your local drives and folders with other networked users, no matter which operating system they are running on their workstations. Only a NFS Client is required on that system for users to mount your disks as part of their system.

Network File System Client

The NFS Client is a program running under the MS Windows operating system in order to mount one or more shared network resources from one or more NFS Servers and to share access to files and directories with other PCs and UNIX users across the network. A shared network resource is any folder that the administrator makes available to be mounted and its subdirectories.

The NFS Client does not turn your PC into a fully qualified file server. Instead, it allows a simple access to folders and files for a limited number of systems on the network.

The NFS Client has a multi-threaded code developed for the Win32 environment and is designed to work with the built-in MS Windows TCP/IP-32 protocol stack.

The NFS Client can be installed on any MS Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT and XP workstation to enable your workstation to benefit from networks NFS-Server services. With the help of the NFS Client you can mount disks and folders from network, no matter under which operating system they reside, and make them as part of your familiar local desktop environment.
