There are two options for Unix Hosts running NUVU

1. The simplest way is to utilise the FTP server included with NUVU. This sits on the windows client that NUVU is installed on. This client must be able to “see” the printers you wish to utilise. The Unix Host simply needs an FTP client to communicate with NUVU. The FTP server provided has security included and only allows NUVU files through.

There is no need for Samba or Vision FS with this configuration

2. Unix hosts running NUVU require a connectivity client installed on the Windows client in order to execute a remote shell command.
Sterland Software recommends Winsock RSHD/95 (for 95/98/ME) or Winsock RSHD/NT (for NT/XP) from Denicomp Systems- www.denicomp.com.
This product is priced competetively and is only required to be installed on the windows client(s) that are being used for NUVU printing.
Note that the server version NOT the client version is installed on the PC that will be the print server.

Additionally Unix networks will need Samba or Vision FS installed - file sharing for Unix/Windows networks - to allow the windows client to "see" the Unix host.
