Instant Access

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.
