Novell File Upload Extension

If the Novell File Upload extension is not installed on this device, it must be installed before you can browse for file paths and upload files.

NOTE:You cannot install Novell File Upload Extension on a Linux device.

After installing the Novell File Upload extension, you do not need to perform this procedure again on this device, assuming you use the same Web browser (Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer, for example) to upload files.

The following sections contain browser-specific information:

Mozilla Firefox

  1. Click the Install the Novell File Upload extension link.

    Depending on your Web browser’s security settings, you might receive a message indicating that your browser has prevented installation of the Novell File Upload extension.

    You receive the following message at the top of your browser window:

    Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer.

  2. Depending on the browser version, do one of the following:

    • On Mozilla Firefox 2.0:

      1. Click the Edit Options button on the right side of the message, click Allow, then click Close.

      2. Click the Install the Novell File Upload extension link again.

    • On Mozilla Firefox 3.0:

      1. Click Allow.

  3. Click Install Now, then restart your Web browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

When a Web page refers to an ActiveX control that is not currently on the workstation, users are asked whether or not they want the ActiveX control to be downloaded. This prompt is displayed in the information bar. The information bar displays in between the Internet Explorer toolbars and the Web page when a notification is present, and disappears on the next navigation.

Displaying the information bar is enabled by default; however, the user can change the default setting so that the information bar does not display. Additionally, the ActiveX controls are installed automatically, without the information bar being displayed, if the publisher of the control (such as Novell) has been previously marked by the user as trusted.

If you are running Internet Explorer (assuming that you are using the default settings and have not marked Novell as trusted), the following message displays in the information bar:

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer stopped this site from installing an ActiveX control on your computer. Click here for options.

  1. Click the information bar, then click Install ActiveX Control.

  2. If you are prompted that Internet Explorer needs to resend information that you have previously submitted, click Retry.

  3. Click OK to install the Novell File Upload extension.

You do not need to restart Internet Explorer.
