client
1. A software program that is used to contact and obtain data from a server software program on another computer, often across a great distance. Each client program is designed to work with one or more specific kinds of server programs, and each server requires a specific kind of client. A web browser and an FTP program are specific kinds of clients.
2. A system or software application that requests services from another application, usually across a network. For example, a Novell Client is workstation software that provides NetWare connectivity to Windows. Once installed on workstations, Novell Client enables users to enjoy the full range of NetWare services such as Novell eDirectory, integrated messaging, single synchronized login, and multiprotocol support.
