If you are looking for a simple, general mechanism for the local specification of IP addresses for specific hostnames (server names), use the HOSTS file, not the LMHOSTS file. The file, if it exists, is read as the LMHOSTS setting file. A sample file (lmhosts.sam) is provided. It contains documentation for manually configuring the file.
The single slash between host and path denotes the start of the local-path part of the URI and must be present. [5] A valid file URI must therefore begin with either file:/path (no hostname), file:///path (empty hostname), or file://hostname/path. file://path (i.e. two slashes, without a hostname) is never correct, but is often used.
The hosts file is one of several system facilities that assists in addressing network nodes in a computer network. It is a common part of an operating system's Internet Protocol (IP) implementation, and serves the function of translating human-friendly hostnames into numeric protocol addresses, called IP addresses, that identify and locate a host in an IP network.
Name-based virtual hosts use multiple host names for the same IP address. A technical prerequisite needed for name-based virtual hosts is a web browser with HTTP/1.1 support (commonplace today) to include the target hostname in the request. This allows a server hosting multiple sites behind one IP address to deliver the correct site's content.
In computing, a shared resource, or network share, is a computer resource made available from one host to other hosts on a computer network. [1] [2] It is a device or piece of information on a computer that can be remotely accessed from another computer transparently as if it were a resource in the local machine.
Host: The domain name of the server (for virtual hosting), and the TCP port number on which the server is listening. The port number may be omitted if the port is the standard port for the service requested. Mandatory since HTTP/1.1. [17] If the request is generated directly in HTTP/2, it should not be used. [18] Host: en.wikipedia.org:8080
hmm, i just noticed something. why is this page titled "Host file"? But, in the Windows environment, it's referred to as a "HOSTS file". And is a file called "HOSTS" which resides in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.110.231.35 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 12 July 2005.
cdist is a zero dependency configuration management system: It requires only ssh and a bourne-compatible shell on target hosts, which are provided by default on most Unix-like machines. [7] Because of this, cdist can be used to bootstrap other configuration management systems.
