Protokolle
The open-sTeam server supports a wealth of technical protocols. The following configuration is (by default) supported by the server:
- FTP: port 21, the File Transfer Protocol is an easy means for downloading or uploading files from and into sTeam. Note: the group knowledge spaces are located at the path /home/groupname/.
- HTTP: port 80, accessing published areas through a browser.
- HTTPS: port 443, accessing password-protected areas through a browser.
- COAL: port 1900, the Common Object Access Layer is a lightweight protocol developed for sTeam, which provides access to all the functionality of the sTeam server. Since it supports server events, it can also be used to develop synchronous clients.
- COALS: port 1999, the COAL protocol with SSL encryption
- Jabber: port 5222, the Jabber protocol is an open source instant messaging protocol (used, for example, by the gaim and adium clients).
- IRC: port 6667, the Internet Relay Chat protocol is supported by various chat clients. In sTeam virtual knowledge spaces act as chat channels in IRC. Note: you need to use your sTeam server login as your nickname in IRC. To authenticate yourself on the server, you must send your password to the "sTeam" chat-bot (type "/msg sTeam pass yourpassword).
- POP3: port 6668, this offers the sTeam internal mailbox via the Post Office Protocol, so it can be accessed like any other POP3 mail account. Note: you need to adjust the port setting in your email client.
- NNTP: port 6669, the Network News Transport Protocol enables news reader clients to access published messageboards on the sTeam server, as well as internal ones if the user has authenticated via user name and password.
