The FingerClient class is used to return information about a user on a remote server, as well as general information about the server itself. The class provides an interface for connecting to a server, requesting information about a user and returning that information to the program. The Finger protocol is sometimes used in conjunction with internal e-mail applications, as well as a general information tool for corporate intranets. Finger servers are most commonly found on UNIX based servers, but implementations are available for the Windows platform as well.
