NVE

A Network Visible Entity (NVE) is a resource that is addressable through a network. Typically, the NVE is a socket client for a service available in a node.

PCShare

PCShare is a high-end SMB-based file server and print server software for Windows computers which are attached to UNIX computers through Ethernet, etc. Since PCShare is compatible with EtherShare and WebShare, Windows users can share network printers and files with Mac, Web, and UNIX users, too.

TCP/IP

An internet network is a virtual data network specification based on a packet-oriented protocol (the internet protocol) which allows data to be transferred between otherwise incompatible networks. Thus, the internet specification describes a hardware-independent data protocol that lies above the hardware protocol (such as Ethernet). The Internet Protocol (IP), however, is only able to exchange data packets between computers. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) extends this ability to allow processes to be addressed on the target computer and to improve the reliability of the inter-process communication. TCP/IP has been implemented by all major software and hardware providers.

WebShare

WebShare is a high-performance HELIOS file server which enables fast and secure real-time file access via any web browser. Since WebShare is compatible with EtherShare and PCShare, intranet web users can share files with Mac, Windows, and UNIX users.

HELIOS WebShare enables fast and secure real time remote file access via any web browser. Now authorized users can easily use your file server wherever they are, without exposing the server to the Internet.
