Toxik supports Wiretap, an enabling technology that uses client-server architecture to enable applications running on a client system to access projects, libraries, clips and frames on a remote storage device. The data is presented in a tree-like hierarchy and is accessible via the Wiretap Client API. The ability for Toxik to support Wiretap improves interoperability between Toxik and IFFFS applications. Wiretap is comprised of a Client API that taps into the remote storage filesystem through a Wiretap Server plug-in running on the remote system via a high-performance network protocol.

To access images on the IFFFS filesystem and network, the Wiretap servers running on IFFFS workstations must be configured to offer Wiretap Path Translation Service—see the Autodesk® Stone® and Wire® Release Notes.
