17.1.1 Using the File Services Overviews

Each graphical overview in the following sections introduces one of the OES file service
components. If visual presentations help you grasp basic concepts, continue with the following
overviews. If you prefer to skip the overviews, go to Section 17.2, "Planning for File Services," on
page 187.

17.1.2 FTP Services

OES 2 offers a level of integration between eDirectory and Pure-FTP that allows users to
authenticate to eDirectory for FTP access to the server. You simply select the Novell FTP Server
pattern in the OES 2 installation and then make sure the users needing access are LUM-enabled and
have access rights to the areas on the server they need to use. You can also migrate an existing FTP
server configuration from a NetWare server to OES 2.
For migration instructions and a brief FAQ, see "Migrating FTP from NetWare to OES 2 Linux" in
the OES 2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
For documentation on Pure-FTP, visit the Pure-FTP Web site (http://pureftpd.sourceforge.net/
documentation.shtml).

17.1.3 NetWare Core Protocol

NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) is the technology beneath many of the network services for which
NetWare is famous.
In OES, NCP is also available on Linux. The Novell NCP Server for Linux provides the rich file
services that Novell is known for. Windows and Linux users who run Novell Client software can
now access data, manage files and folders, map drives, etc., using the same methods as they do on
NetWare servers.
Figure 17-1 illustrates the basics of NCP file services. For more information on how NCP can help
you manage access to network resources, see "Access Control and Authentication" on page 161.
