Server category

When you select the Server tab in the Properties dialog, the following panel is displayed:

Send HTML to:--Specifies whether attached Web resource files (HTML, images, etc.) should be sent to a World-Wide Web server (remote HTML type), or as MIME attachments as part of the posting (local HTML type). If WWW Server is selected, you must also specify Primary WWW Server:, Primary Mailhost: and, if required by the primary Web site, the Document Root:.
If you intend to send HTML articles to a WWW server, you will need to arrange with an organization to host your HTML articles; contact sales@fractals.com for a list of companies or individuals offering this service. Note that local HTML type articles do not require the services of a WWW server.
Primary WWW Server:--Specify the URL of the primary World-Wide Web server which will host your attachments. This field is relevant only if Send HTML to: is set to WWW Server. Contact your Web space provider for the value to be set in Primary WWW Server:.
Document Root:--If the WWW server in question requires that Web resource files be sent to a directory below its own DocumentRoot, specify the subdirectory here. Contact your Web space provider for the value, if any, to be set in Document Root:.
Primary Mailhost:--The name of the primary host system to which Web resource files should be sent. This is generally different from Primary WWW Server:. Contact your Web space provider for the value to be set in Primary Mailhost:.
Secondary WWW Server:--Specify the URL of the (optional) secondary World-Wide Web server which will host your attachments. This field is relevant only if Send HTML to: is set to WWW Server. Contact your Web space provider for the value, if any, to be set in Secondary WWW Server:.
Secondary Mailhost:--The name of the (optional) secondary host system to which Web resource files should be sent. This is generally different from Secondary WWW Server:. Contact your Web space provider for the value, if any, to be set in Secondary Mailhost:.
Mail Server:--Identifies the SMTP server which will handle outgoing e-mail. For example, when you cc: or forward an article to someone, the article will be sent via this host.
NNTP Server:--Determines the NNTP server to which articles will be sent and from which articles will be read.
Proxy Server:--Defines a server to be used to proxy HTTP requests. This field is relevent only if you require the use of a proxy server, e.g., if you are running WebReader from behind a firewall. If Proxy Server: and Proxy Port #: are set incorrectly for your environment, then when you attempt to read an HTML article you will see the ASCII synopsis instead.
Proxy Port #:--Identifies the port used by the proxy server. This field is relevent only if you require the use of a proxy server, e.g., if you are running WebReader from behind a firewall.
Newsreader mode:--This property allows you to specify whether WebReader should start up in online or offline mode. If set to Offline, be sure that the offline news server is running before restarting WebReader. See Operating WebReader in offline mode for details.
Apply--Pressing the Apply button causes the current field values to be saved in the Properties file and the Properties dialog to disappear.
Reset--Pressing the Reset button causes the current field values to be reset to their current values, as given in the Properties file.
Cancel--Pressing the Cancel button causes the Properties dialog to disappear.
