NetNow!
provides a basic web server, suitable for company-wide distribution
of information. NetNow! can index both locally hosted and remote
sites, making it possible to find pages through a familiar keyboard
search. Each user can also maintain their own homepages (some web
page editors can edit directly from NetNow!). |
| |
NetNow!
is a fully featured web proxy, allowing any machine on your network
to access the world wide web without the need for specialist proxy
server software. Pages can be cached locally, dramatically reducing
download times. If requested pages are not in the NetNow! cache,
it can be configured to ask clients (through their web browser)
if they wish to initiate a connection. For offline sites that are
regularly used, you can have a web crawler periodically scan the
sties for pages and download them in advance. This makes it possible
to browse entire sites without needing to go online at all. NetNow!
can also index these sites for keyword searching. |
| FTP
Server / FTP Proxy Server |
| |
NetNow
can act as an FTP server, and proxy FTP requests. This means that
you can setup an FTP server on your local intranet to operate as
a file server. In addition you can now use NetNow as an FTP proxy
server to allow users on your network to retrieve files from Internet
FTP sites. |
| |
The
NetNow server allows you to download files from FTP servers using
a web browser. This is an option which has been added over and above
the FTP support since most web browser do not support FTP directly.
|
| |
You
no longer need to install or use an e-mail client to send / receive
e-mails via Netnow. All you need is your web browser and the WebMail
service. |
| |
NetNow
can now support receive e-mailing from Internet Service Providers
using SMTP, when the SMTP server requires ETRN to initiate mail
delivery. Without this feature NetNow is unable to receive e-mails
from certain ISP's. |
