Acronym for NetWare Core Protocol.
NCP, or NetWare Core Protocol is the file-sharing
protocol between server
and client(s) on a Novell NetWare network. NCP
controls many requests to the file and printing system, along with login
requests. NCP is a client/server LAN protocol. Clients (or
workstations) send NCP requests, which are sent
via IPX or IP over the network to
the server for interpretation.
