Apple PowerBook File Assistant - Manual (Page 13)

Using a PowerBook with a network
If you are on a network and have access to servers, you are probably familiar
with downloading or copying files from network servers to your PowerBook’s
hard disk. You may find yourself downloading files that are updated weekly
and sorted on a file server, such as a price list or weekly inventory update.
When you use the PowerBook File Assistant to link files on your PowerBook
with files on a network server, any time a server file changes, the copy of the
file on your PowerBook is automatically updated.
There are two common ways you can access a network:
m Connecting directly to a network, using the AppleTalk networking software
built in to your PowerBook.
m Connecting to a network through a desktop Macintosh, using an AppleTalk
connection.
See the user’s guide that came with your PowerBook for more details on using
your PowerBook with a network.
