17.1 Overview of File Services

The file service components in OES include the following:

FTP Services (page 178): Lets users securely transfer files to and from OES 2 servers.

NetWare Core Protocol (page
volumes (including NSS volumes) that you define on OES 2 server partitions.

NetStorage (page 179): Provides network and Web access to various file services through
common file service protocols, such as CIFS.
The NetStorage server doesn't actually store files and folders. Rather, it provides access to
other file services that support the native TCP/IP protocol.

Novell AFP (page 182): Provides native Macintosh access to files stored on an NSS volume on
an OES 2 server.

Novell CIFS (page 183): Provides native Windows (CIFS and HTTP-WebDAV) access to files
stored on an NSS volume on an OES 2 server.

Novell iFolder 3.8 (page
iFolder server) that stores master copies of locally accessible files on the OES 2 server.

Novell Samba (page
stored on an OES 2 server's file system.
The file service components in OES are generally compatible. However you cannot run Novell
Samba on the same OES 2 server as Novell AFP, Novell CIFS, or Domain Services for Windows,
which is not reviewed as a file service, but does include an alternative Samba file service.
178): Provides NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) access to NCP
