AppleShare can be used in the LAN via DDP , TCP / IP was possible with the successor AppleShare IP. With AppleShare, a user can access files, applications, printers and other resources on a remote server.

A slimmed-down version is available from System 7.0 in the form of Personal File Sharing, which works significantly more slowly than AppleShare and also allows a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections. Microsoft Windows NT Server and Novell NetWare both offer AppleShare server support, though currently only through AppleTalk . Third-party client / server support for AppleShare is available for Windows for Workgroups , Windows 95 and Windows NT , as well as for Unix systems.
