Novell Open Enterprise Server Administrators Handbook, SUSE LINUX Edition

Using NetStorage

  • NetStorage provides a WebDAV server interface for all OES Linux files and directories.

  • Use any WebDAV-compliant application, such as web browsers, Windows Explorer (My Network Places), or Office 2000 to access OES NetWare files and folders.

  • NetStorage can provide clientless access to iFolder files.

  • NetStorage provides the WebDAV support for the NetDrive client.

Working with NetDrive

  • NetDrive client is available online by searching for neTDrive at http://support.novell.com/filefinder.

  • NetDrive supports access to OES Linux files and folders using standard protocols: FTP, WebDAV, or iFolder.

Synchronizing Files with Novell iFolder

  • Synchronize files between remote clients and a centralized iFolder server, so that user data is available anytime, from anywhere.

  • Configure and manage iFolder server through the iFolder management console, available at https://<iFolder server DNS or IP address>iFolderServer/Admin after iFolder is installed.

  • Use iFolder client to provide synchronization between the iFolder server and regularly used machines.

  • If you are using a machine for one-time access, use NetStorage to access the iFolder server without having to synchronize all files.

  • Use NetDrive to access the iFolder server without synchronizing the entire directory. Useful when the desktop application is not WebDAV-aware.

  • iFolder access requires that the iFolder server be installed and configured prior to use.
