Specification of the Web server and cube you wish to access through a HTTP has the following format:
| http://<Web server>/<path>/<cube name>.cube \\
or \\ http://<Web server>/<path>/<cube name>.view |
Specification of the FTP server and cube you wish to access through a&nbsp;FTP has the following format:

| ftp://<FTP server>/<path>/<cube name>.cube \{user:password} \\
or \\ ftp://<FTP server>/<path>/<cube name>.view \{user:password} |

Where:
<Web server> is the IP name of the Web server
<ftp server> is the IP name or address of the FTP server
<cube_name> is the name of the cube&nbsp;
<view_name> is the name of the saved view&nbsp;
\{username:password} indicates the username and password to access the Web or FTP sites.

Including the username and password is optional. If they are used, a space must be left blank between the cube or view name and the username.

It is also possible to select a URL for the cube using the File \| Reopen command. The submenu in this option shows a list with the ten last used cubes.

To access a cube or view through HTTP or FTP, files must have previously been published by the Website or FTP site administrator.

When accessing a cube or view through HTTP or FTP, *O3Browser* operates in the Standalone mode. This means that the full cube is moved to the client machine. This characteristic may pose some difficulty when we are dealing with a large cube, or if Internet access is through a low transmission capacity line.
