access privileges The ability of network users to
read, read and write, or make write-only changes to
a shared disk or folder. Access privileges are
determined by the administrator or by users. See
explicit access privileges and adopted access
privileges
.

adopted access privileges Access privileges that
are the same as the folder’s enclosing folder. A
folder with adopted privileges automatically takes
on the User/Group and Everyone privileges of any
folder (or disk) into which it’s moved. See explicit
access privileges.

anonymous FTP An attribute you can set for FTP
service that allows users to log on to the Web &
File Server as anonymous, without providing
passwords.

alias A file that points to a file, folder, or disk.
When you open an alias, you’re actually opening
the file, folder or disk that the alias points to.

APOP Acronym for Authenticated Post Office
Protocol
. APOP is a protocol used by some client
mail applications to encode passwords so they
cannot be observed on the network.

AppleShare client software Any software that
supports the AppleTalk Filing Protocol, including
AppleShare Client Software 3.7, AppleShare Client
for Windows, and COPSTalk.

AppleShare IP administrator The person who
sets up the Web & File, Mail, or Print Server,
registers users and their passwords, creates groups,
and maintains file, mail, and print services. See
network administrator.

AppleTalk A communications environment in
which many different kinds of computers,
peripheral devices, and software can work together
according to protocols (rules) developed by Apple
Computer.

attach To associate a printer with a queue.

banner page A printed page that shows the user’s
name, the program, the document name, the date
and time of printing, the name of the printer, and the
number of pages in a document.

cache A portion of RAM used for storing
frequently used folders, files, and icons. Because
cached items are already in RAM, access to them is
faster than if they were read from a storage device
each time they are used.

default port The port that non-multihoming-aware
applications use when multihoming is enabled. The
default port is the port that appears in the “Connect
via” pop-up menu of the AppleTalk control panel.
