protocol

Network File System (NFS) is the protocol developed by Sun Microsystems that allows computers to use a remote file system as if it were a real part of the local machine.

A common use of NFS is to allow users home directories to appear on every local machine they use, thus eliminating the need to have physical home directories.

We can say that SSH is a set of programs that contain public and private keys to authenticate and encrypt sessions between user accounts and machines and computers which are on the Internet.

The official line from the Commission's protocol department is that the Web site was a victim of its own success.

Xbox media streaming uses the DNLA protocol to receive content from a peer on a network. Using ushare, you can setup streaming to your Xbox on any Linux machine quite easily.

FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure.

This article explains how to set up ProFTPd with TLS on an Ubuntu 8.10 server.

Last week we explained how LDAP directories work, without really explaining how to use them. This week we’ll show how LDAP queries work, after explaining how the protocol works.

Don't forget, we're also giving away an Xbox and a Wii! http://omnitraining.net/giveaway

This year, Creative Commons unveiled a new initiative called “CC+”. It is not a license. It’s a “protocol”. it specifies a standardized mechanism to sell further rights for works under Creative Commons licenses.

It could enable “collective patronage” models like the one that brought us the Blender free movies to be extended to CC licenced material

Javascript bookmarklets have been around since the early days of Javascript, and are possible because Firefox and most other modern browsers (except Konqueror) offer the special protocol "javascript:" to let you execute bits of javascript code directly.

Akkana Peck shows us how to harness this power to turbocharge our Web surfing.

Fixed error pages when entering unknown protocol. Fixed an issue where custom search engines would not get a favicon.
