Server
A system program that awaits requests from client programs in the same
computer or across a network, and services those requests. A server can be
dedicated, in which case this is its sole function, or non-dedicated, where the
system can be used in other ways, such as a workstation.
Server Message Block (SMB)
A protocol that enables client applications in a computer to read and write
files on a computer network and to request services from server programs in
a computer network for systems running Microsoft Windows.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
The TCP/IP standard protocol for transferring electronic mail messages
between points on the Internet. SMTP specifies how two mail systems
interact and the format of control messages they exchange to transfer mail.
SMTP is a protocol for transferring email between points on the Internet;
Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
deal with receiving email from your local server. You send email with SMTP
and a mail handler receives it on your recipient’s behalf. The mail is then
read using POP or IMAP.
See also “Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)” on page 91 and “Post
Office Protocol 3 (POP3)” on page 95.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP
networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices,
and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance and security
on a network.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
A parallel interface standard used by Apple Macintosh computers, PCs and
many Unix systems for attaching peripheral devices to computers. SCSI
interfaces provide for faster data transmission rates (up to 80 Mb/s) than
standard serial and parallel ports. In addition, you can attach many devices to
a single SCSI port, so that SCSI is really an input/output bus rather than
simply an interface. Although SCSI is an ANSI standard, there are many
variations, so two SCSI interfaces can be incompatible. For example, SCSI
supports several types of connectors.
SMB
