|  | Oracle Internet File System, or iFS, is a Java-based repository supervisor and application development environment. iFS views the Oracle database as if it were a file system. iFS replaces many complex tasks usually performed by an operating system. iFS adds these new features to the Oracle 8i database: iFS accesses the repository via standard protocols such as HTTP, FTP, and IMAP4. iFS seamlessly integrates with Windows Explorer and Network Neighborhood. iFS supports the Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
