1.2 Prerequisites for using BSCW
Requirements for using BSCW are minimal:
- To register as a user of a BSCW server you must have a personal email address.
- To access shared workspaces and to download documents to your local computer you need a Web browser that supports forms and basic authentication. Most browsers do that, e.g. the current versions of Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
- The easiest way to upload documents to a BSCW workspace is to use the built-in file upload function of current Web browsers (see 3.3.2). In case of problems you may have to use one of BSCW’s upload helpers (see 4.2.2).
