Using Internet File System (iFS) to Build XML Applications, 2 of 11

## Introduction to Internet File System (iFS)

Internet File System (iFS) facilitates organizing and accessing documents and data using a file- and folder-based metaphor through standard Windows and Internet protocols such as SMB, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or IMAP4.

iFs aids in the building and administering of web-based applications. It is an application interface for Java and can load a document, such as a Powerpoint .PPT file, into Oracle8i, and display the document from a web server, such as Oracle8i JVM (JServer2.0).
