Server Client for Macintosh

Overview

When connected to a server, the Client for Macintosh provides features that make remote computing just like running applications on a local desktop.

Topics covered in this section include:

•The client architecture

•Features of the Client for Macintosh

You use the client to access remote servers and applications available on those servers, even those running on operating systems other than Macintosh OS X. You can run the applications on the server and see them display locally in a window on your own desktop. The window displays either the remote server desktop, from where you can open any available application, or displays a specific application (called a published application) that runs on the remote server.

Architecture

The diagram below shows how the different elements of the client interact with each other and the server in order to display remote applications on the Macintosh screen.
