3.0 Installing Novell Native File Access Protocols on a NetWare 6.5 Server

The Novell® Native File Access Protocols (NFAP) are currently installed and configured to default settings automatically when you install your NetWare 6.5 server.

NOTE:The NetWare 6.5 Customized Installation option includeds a Refresh Native File Access Login Methods check box. The purpose of the check box is to provide support for the migration tool that backs up an eDirectory tree, moves an existing server to new hardware, installs a new OS, then restores the previous tree. It is only necessary to check this box if you want to reinstall NFAP login methods during a NetWare server migration.

Additional information and requirements for managing and accessing NetWare 6.5 servers running the Novell Native File Access Protocols include:

  1. Preparing for CIFS and AFP.

    See Section 3.1, Preparing for CIFS and AFP.

  2. Set up an Administrator Workstation.

    See Section 3.2, Administrator Workstation Prerequisites.

  3. Ensure that all of the client computers (Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX) that will use the Novell Native File Access Protocols software to access network resources are running a supported version of their respective operating systems.
