Force Cache
In Desktop Management, an administrator-definable action that results in a distributed application's source files (and other files required for installation) being automatically copied to the workstation's NAL cache directory. With a user-associated application, the application is cached immediately after Novell Application Launcher refreshes (initial startup, manual refresh, or timed refresh). With a workstation-associated application, the application is cached immediately after Workstation Helper refreshes (initial startup or timed refresh).
See also NAL cache; Novell Application Launcher; workstation-associated application; Workstation Helper; user-associated application.
Force Run
In Desktop Management, an administrator-definable action that results in a distributed application being run without user intervention. With a user-associated application, the application is run immediately after Novell Application Launcher refreshes (initial startup, manual refresh, or timed refresh). With a workstation-associated application, the application is run immediately after the Workstation Helper refreshes (initial startup or timed refresh).
See also Novell Application Launcher; workstation-associated application; Workstation Helper; user-associated application.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol.
A part of the TCP/IP suite of control procedures for downloading files from a remote host computer to a local computer.
