Introducing the Citrix Presentation
Server Client for Macintosh
Overview
When connected to a server, the Client for Macintosh provides features that make
remote computing just like running applications on a local desktop.
Topics covered in this section include:
• The client architecture
• Features of the Client for Macintosh
You use the client to access remote servers and applications available on those
servers, even those running on operating systems other than Macintosh OS X.
You can run the applications on the server and see them display locally in a
window on your own desktop. The window displays either the remote server
desktop, from where you can open any available application, or displays a
specific application (called a published application) that runs on the remote
server.
Architecture
The diagram below shows how the different elements of the client interact with
each other and the server in order to display remote applications on the Macintosh
screen.
