While the STPServer is enabled, it will accept certain file transfer requests from other machines.  Whenever it accepts a 
connection, an iconic viewer is created that lets you know what is going on; if you ignore it, it will go away when the connection 
closes.  Alternatively, you can open the viewer to see the requests that are being made, and who is responsible.
STPServer uses a very simple-minded access control scheme.  Any grapevine-authenticated user is allowed to list directories.  Read 
access is controlled by the local file []<>STPServer.readAccess;  anyone with an RName listed in this file will be allowed to read 
(retrieve) files.  The list may contain group names, e.g., CedarUsers^.pa.  Only the user who is currently logged-in on the 
STPServer machine is allowed to store or delete files remotely.
It is a good idea, when retrieving files, to use "copy -c"; otherwise only an attachment is made, and you are relying on the 
STPServer to be available when the file is actally opened.
