Overview

Novell^® NetStorage is a feature of NetWare^® 6 that provides simple Internet-based access to file storage. NetStorage is a Net services software solution that is a bridge between a company's protected Novell network and the Internet. It gives users secure file access from any Internet location, with nothing to download or install on the user's workstation. Files and folders on a Novell network can be accessed using either a browser or Microsoft* Web Folders.

Novell NetStorage includes the following features:

• Lets users securely copy, move, rename, delete, read, and write files between any Internet-enabled machine and a Novell network.
• Eliminates the need to e-mail or copy data from one machine to another.
• Supports Internet standards such as HTTP, HTTPS, HTML, XML, and WebDAV.
• Provides a gadget for NetWare WebAccess so users can get access to network files and folders by clicking on a gadget on the NetWare WebAccess page.

With NetStorage installed on one NetWare 6 server, users can potentially have access to any NetWare 5 or NetWare 6 server anywhere on your geographically dispersed NetWare network.

NetStorage relies on the power of Novell eDirectory^TM to provide a single point of authentication for all network users.
