firewall or on the intranet inside the firewall. Departmental Web sites are
typically a software virtual server where personal Web sites are easily created
by each user.
How to Publish Content to Your Web Server
A Web site on the Internet is typically the place for you to publish information
you want visitors to read. However, a Web site on an intranet is most effective
if employees can participate and share information with others. This makes it
possible for users to communicate within a department, for departments to
share information with other departments, and for company leaders to
communicate with the entire company.
Web content contributors have three options for publishing content to your
Web server:
 Mapping a network drive and creating or copying the content to the
desired directory
 Using Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
 Using Novell
®
NetDrive to map a drive using FTP or WebDAV
In each case, the administrator must first do something to allow the user to
access directories on your server.

to set up access rights to your NetWare server for each
person who will be contributing content to your Web server.
2 Provide users with the correct network path to your server and to the
folders with which they will be working.
HINT: If users want to map a drive without having to install or use the NetWare
client, they can use NetDrive, which is included on the root of your NetWare 6
Client CD. (See Installing Novell NetDrive in the Novell NetDrive Administration
Guide.) Once NetDrive is installed, you can map a drive across the Internet to
folders on your NetWare server. You must have WebDAV enabled. See “Web
Publishing through WebDAV” on page 66.
