17.3.2 NetStorage
NetStorage provides Web access to the files and directories on OES 2 servers from browsers and
Web-enabled devices such as PDAs.
Because NetStorage is a service that facilitates access to file services in various locations but doesn't
actually store files, there are no coexistence or migration issues to consider.
For more information about NetStorage, see the
NW 6.5 SP8: NetStorage Administration Guide
or
the
OES 2 SP2: NetStorage for Linux Administration
Guide.
17.3.3 Novell AFP
Novell AFP provides native AFP protocol access from Macintosh workstations to data on OES 2
servers, offering the same basic AFP connectivity that was previously available only on NetWare.
No Novell Client software is required.
For information on migrating AFP services from NetWare to OES 2, see
"Migrating AFP from
NetWare to OES 2 SP2 Linux
" in the
OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
Guide.
17.3.4 Novell CIFS
Novell CIFS provides native CIFS protocol access from Windows workstations to data on OES 2
servers, offering the same basic CIFS connectivity that was previously available only on NetWare.
No Novell Client softward is required.
For information on migrating CIFS services from NetWare to OES 2, see
"Migrating CIFS from
NetWare to OES 2 SP2
Linux" in the
OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
Guide.
17.3.5 Novell iFolder 3.8
iFolder 3.8 supports multiple iFolders per user, user-controlled sharing, and a centralized network of
servers to provide scalable file storage and secure distribution. Users can share files in multiple
iFolder folders, and share each iFolder folder with a different group of users. Users control who can
participate in an iFolder folder and their access rights to the files in it. Users can also participate in
iFolder folders that others share with them.
Novell iFolder 3.8 is available only on OES 2.
For information on migrating from iFolder 2 to iFolder 3.8, see
"Migrating iFolder
2.x" in the
OES
2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
Guide.
17.3.6 Samba
OES 2 includes Samba software to provide Microsoft CIFS and HTTP-WebDAV access to files on
the server. Like Novell CIFS, this is useful to those who don't want to use the Novell Client.
There is no migration path from Novell CIFS (NFAP) to Samba.
For more information about Samba in OES 2, see the
OES2 SP2: Samba Administration
Guide.
