Thank you, but I already did the google search. I want to know how do the remote accees work. I understand the the client access the citrix server through the internet, but how? Is the citrix server connected to the internet and client can access it thought the internet as well? Thank you for you help...

 

Well, yes. Both need to be on the same network (a LAN, WLAN, WAN, whatever) in order to communicate with each other. From my understanding, when you run applications through a Citrix server you are continually communicating with the server, allbeit asyncronously.

From what I can tell each application for the Citrix server is pretty specialised, so each application would be handled differently.

 

By the looks of it you might be provided with a VPN type connection to the server, then you would navigate to a certain web resource once connected, and then you would be given the choice to launch certain applications on the server once authenticated.

It looks very IE specific so you probably will need to download ActiveX controls the first time you use it.

What exactly do you need to know?
