12 File Requests

 This section will explain and discuss the various aspects of File
 Requests. There are two types of Requests, File Request and Update
 Request. The latter is basically a File Request that triggers a
 mechanism to only send the requested files if they are more recent
 than those found on the requesting system. Two basic terms have to be
 explained and understood:


     Outbound Requests   A File or Update Request created and
                         transmitted by your system to another,
                         remote, system.

     Inbound Requests    A File or Update Request transmitted by
                         another system to your system.

 There is no mechanism in FD to control how an outbound Request is
 treated by the remote system. FD strictly deals with controlling the
 access to and security of your system (inbound Requests).
