Installing Novell NetDrive

® ®
Novell NetDrive lets you to map a network drive to any NetWare 6 server
without using Novell Client software. This means that with NetDrive, you
TM
can access and modify your files from any workstation using just an Internet
connection. Once a network drive is mapped, the drive letter that you assigned
during the mapping appears in Windows* Explorer and functions just like
those that are mapped through Novell Client.
You can connect to your NetWare 6 servers through any of the following
protocols:
iFolder—Use this protocol if you are connecting to iFolder servers in a
TM
thin-client environment. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Using
NetDrive in a Thin-Client Environment," on page 17.
FTP—FTP (file transfer protocol) is a common protocol used to transfer files
via the Internet.
WebDAV—WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a
set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which lets users collaboratively edit
and manage files located on Web servers. For information about WebDAV, see
the WebDAV Home page (http://www.webdav.org).
IMPORTANT:
The protocol that you decide to use must be configured on the
NetWare 6 server that you are connecting to.
