Connecting over the Internet

With the Citrix ICA Client, you can connect to a Citrix server over the Internet.

The World Wide Web provides users with easy access to a Citrix server. The following example shows how to connect to a Citrix server from a World Wide Web browser such as NetScape Navigator.

First you need to set up mailcap and MIME files for Netscape Navigator or Mosaic so that .ica files start up the ICA Client executable, wfica.

To set up the mailcap file

* In $HOME, create or modify the .mailcap file and add the line:

application/x-ica; wfica %s

The application wfica must be in the path. The %s indicates that the full filename of the .ica file is passed to the application.

To set up the MIME file

* In $HOME, create or modify the .mime.types file and add the line:

application/x-ica ica

The x- in front of the format ica indicates that ica is an unofficial MIME type not supported by IANA.
