Providing the Windows 2000 "Make Available Offline" functionality on NetWare

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 30 Jun 2004

Q:
We recently merged with another company that uses Windows 2000 as it its file & print. Laptop users use this "Make available offline" option on folders which sync the folders/files to their laptop from the server when they log off. I've now moved them to NW6.5 telling them how much better NetWare is compared to Microsoft, but they have now lost their offline folders option (not good).

Anyone have any ideas as to the best way to achieve this with NetWare?



A:
Absolutely. Use iFolder, a killer app if ever there was one. Not only does it do all the syncing, it offers the additional advantage that files can also be accessed via web browser. Your users will love it.
