1. VDN Server:
Windows 2000/XP/ 2003
45 MB HDD space
2. VDN Administrator:
Windows 2000/XP/2003

ª
Note
VDN supports Windows and Novell long file names. If your Novell
server does not support long file names, use Dos 8.3 file naming
conventions for VCD files.
2.2 Installing the VDN Server
Installing VDN Server
Setting up VDN requires that all the VDN Server and associated program
files are placed in a common ‘shared’’ directory. Files stored in this
directory can be called from any PC on the network to install both the
VDN Administrator and/or Client programs. Because VDN directory also
stores Administrator settings and statistics on Client’s VCD usage, full
read/write privileges need to be made available to the Administrator and
all Clients of VirtualDrive® Network.
ª
Note
Since VDN directory contains some important files and data, it is
strongly recommended that you hide the directory by suffixing a $ to
the folder name (e.g. VDN$). In this way, the shared folder is invisible
to others on network.
