If you want to access NetWare without using the Novell Client, one of your options is using NetDrive to access NetWare via NetStorage.
In this scenario, NetDrive lets you use Internet friendly protocols (WebDAV over HTTP) to map a drive to a NetWare server through NetStorage. NetStorage uses NCPTM to access the NetWare server, reads your login script, then displays all of your mapped drives and files from one central location.
Figure 1
Using NetDrive and NetStorage to Access Your Files
Once you map a drive to the server, Windows Explorer appears and the drive letter that you mapped through NetDrive appears and functions like normal drives that are mapped using the Novell Client. The only difference is that all of the drives that you mapped through the Novell Client now appear as folders in Windows Explorer. So, with just one drive mapping you can access all of your data that you used to access through multiple drive letters via the Novell Client.
For more information about NetStorage, see the Novell NetStorage Administration Guide.
