Sharing and exchanging data 89
To work with a published FileMaker Pro database, users need:
1 web browser software
1 access to the Internet or an intranet. Access to the Internet requires
an Internet service provider (ISP); FileMaker does not provide an
account for you
1 a host computer with continuous access to the Internet or intranet
via TCP/IP
1 the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that hosts your
database files
You can publish your databases as web pages within a local network
or intranet, or to users on the web. You don’t have to change your
database or use additional software.
For more information, see the FileMaker Instant Web Publishing
Guide
in the Electronic Documentation folder inside the English
Extras folder.
