HTTP -- the Server

You might want to set up a Web server to give the Web community access to your information. The standard transfer protocol used by Web servers is called the HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP). See ``System Configuration and Modification Assistance'' for more information. (You can also serve HTML documents from a Gopher or anonymous FTP server.)

NCSA has developed server software for UNIX platforms that is available on the NCSA anonymous FTP server (see ``NCSA Server Addresses''). HTTP server software is currently available from other Web sources for UNIX, Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows platforms.
