From the Back Cover

The quickest, easiest way to master all the TCP/IP commands you need

To do serious work on UNIX-based networks or on a personal computer connected to the Internet, you'll need to master a complex set of TCP/IP commands. This book provides you with all the expert advice and guidance you need to get the most out of all the essential TCP/IP commands. Featuring a clear, step-by-step format, and packed with examples of how each command can be used both on a UNIX system and on a PC, it tells you everything you need to know to perform both basic and advanced functions, including how to:
* Log in and connect to remote systems
* Copy files from host to host
* Execute commands on a remote system
* Transfer files
* Send and receive e-mail messages
* Work with network file systems
* Manage TCP/IP networks

First, Martin Arick focuses entirely on the practical concerns of users. In a series of 13 chapters, each devoted to an individual command application, such as telnet or ftp, he tells you how to interact with the various applications, details advanced uses of each application, describes problems commonly associated with each and how to avoid them, and explains how the command can be used on a personal computer connected to the Internet.

Then, the book concentrates on how TCP/IP works beneath the surface. Arick begins with a description of the most widely used network model (the OSI model), and then provides an overview of various TCP/IP protocols describing the functions of each and how they fit into the network model.
