Applications available in the web portal
Depending on the web portal configuration and user group settings, one or more of the following server applications are available to you through Bookmarks or the Connection Tool:
• Ping enables you to test whether a particular server or host is reachable on the network.
• HTTP/HTTPS accesses web pages.
• Telnet (Teletype Network emulation) enables you to use your computer as a virtual text-only terminal to log in to a remote host.
• SSH (Secure Shell) enables you to exchange data between two computers using a secure channel.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol) enables you to transfer files between your computer and a remote host.
• SMB/CIFS implements the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to support file sharing between your computer and a remote server host.
• VNC (Virtual Network Computing) enables you to remotely control another computer, for example, accessing your work computer from your home computer.
• RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), similar to VNC, enables you to remotely control a computer running Microsoft Terminal Services.
Some server applications may prompt you for a user name and password. You must have a user account created by the server administrator so that you can log in.
| Windows file sharing through SMB/CIFS is supported through shared directories. |
