Figure 7 How a NetWare FTP Server Accesses Remote NetWare Servers
To navigate to remote servers, enter
cd //remote server name/volume/directory pathname
File operations such as get, put, and delete can be used on the remote server,
even without changing directory path to that server. For example:
get //remote_server_name/volume/directory path/filename
If the current directory is on a remote server and the remote server goes down,
the user is placed in the home directory in the home server. If the home server
is not available, the user is placed in the default user home directory.
Navigating to IBM Servers
After logging in to the eDirectory tree, users can access files and directories
on a remote NetWare server whether or not the server is running Novell FTP
Server software.
The NetWare FTP Server uses the AFTP Gateway component of NetWare
SAA to access remote IBM servers.
