SCIENCE.ORG Presents transferRNA(TM) File Transfer Plug-in
transferRNA(TM) Revolutionizes and Simplifies Peer-to-Peer File Transfer
===========================================================================
ENCINITAS, California - SCIENCE.ORG is happy to present transferRNA,
the solution to simple file transfer.
The transferRNA plug-in you've just installed is a 32-bit plug-in that
will work with Windows95 and WindowsNT.
HOW transferRNA WORKS
====================================================================
transferRNA can be run by anyone who has access to the Internet and can run
the Netscape Navigator Web browser. transferRNA currently works as an inline
plug-in in the Netscape Navigator Web browser. Inline plug-ins are one of
Netscape痴 newest developments that let executable programs run within the
browser window. The free transferRNA software can be downloaded from the
following Web site. You can find additional and updated information at
this Web site.
http://www.science.org/transferRNA/
Once the transferRNA program has been downloaded and installed the necessary
transferRNA files must be located in your Navigator plugin directory for
the plugin to work successfully.
PEER-TO-PEER File Transfer
===========================================================================
To activate the transferRNA simply load the trna.htm document which contains
an embed tag that references a .RNA file. The transferRNA plug-in will then
activate. Both the sender and recipient must be connected over a TCP/IP
network or the Internet, and be running the transferRNA inline plug-in.
Here is the step-by-step procedure to send a file using transferRNA.
キ The sender chooses the file to send by selecting the Choose File option.
キ The sender then enters the IP address or domain name of the recipient.
キ Finally the sender selects the Send File option and the file is sent to
the recipient.
キ The recipient only has to wait to receive the file, and then copy it
from the temporary directory to any location on their computer system.
Providing transferRNA on a Web Page
=============================================================================
You can also include tranferRNA on your Web page. Before you can do this
you must make sure that your Web server supports the transferRNA MIME type.
If you have access to the Web server software you should follow the following
instructions. Otherwise, send them to either your system administrator
or Internet service provider asking them to update their Web server's
supported MIME types.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTICE OF NEW MIME TYPE -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most Web server software (HTTP server) has a file called mime.types.
Modify this file to include a new application MIME type. Add an additional
line to this file that looks like this:
application/x-transferRNA rna
The "application" is the primary MIME type. x-transferRNA is the secondary
MIME type. The "rna" is the .rna file extension. If your HTTP server
uses a different file to keep track of MIME types, follow the format used
in that file to add this MIME type. Save the file, and if required,
restart the HTTP server. The tranferRNA MIME type will now be supported.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To add transferRNA into your Web page you must add an <EMBED> tag into
your HTML that looks like this:
<EMBED SRC="transfer.rna" height=390 width=600 ShowRecvPage="0">
Save your Web page. From now on, anyone who accesses your Web page
will either see the transferRNA plug-in or a notice that they need to
download a new plug-in.
