Using CCITCP

Fileshare defaults to the TCP/IP (CCITCP) protocol. When using CCITCP, you can use either CCITCP Direct or the following process:

• The Fileshare Client and the Fileshare Server must have access to a registration process called ccitcp2 that sets up the initial connection between the Fileshare Client and Fileshare Server. This process can be running on any machine that the Fileshare Client and Fileshare Server can contact.
• You must set the environment variable CCITCP2 to the host name of the machine where the ccitcp2 process is running.

  If you do not set the environment variable, CCITCP assumes that ccitcp2 is running on the local machine. The Fileshare Client and the Fileshare Server must register with the same ccitcp2 process in order to communicate with each other.

  For example, consider the situation where the Fileshare Server and the Fileshare Client are running on different machines and the ccitcp2 process is running on the same machine as the Fileshare Server. The environment variable CCITCP2 does not have to be set on the machine running the Fileshare Server. However, it must be set (on the machine running the Fileshare Client) to the TCP/IP host name of the machine where the Fileshare Server (and the ccitcp2 process) is running.
