Connect to users home directory using Netware FTP Server ?

Connect to users home directory using Netware FTP Server ?

The nice thing about the Netware FTP server is that you can connect 
to any NetWare server in the tree that you have access to from one FTP 
server connection. You can test this from a dos prompt 

FTP your.ftp.server 
.username.context 
password 

Once logged in, issue a 

cd \servervolumepath 

It should change to that server, you can confirm by issuing a PWD 
command to display the path. 

If you don’t connect , it could be that you don’t have access to that 
servervolumepath or the server running the FTP server is not utilizing 
SLP correctly to resolve server names. 

Inside stoneware, you can create the FTP node and for the path you can 
put in the UNC path of where you want to connect to. Depending on what 
path you are trying to connect to, you may want to install Hotfix3e for 
webNetwork, we added a special stoneware variable to handle the NetWare 
homedirectory slightly differently. With Hotfix3e you can put 
//@@ftphomedir@@ for the path and it will take the info from edir 
manipulate it and change the slashes around a bit. 

Currently there is an issue with Swift in version 4 that is being taken 
care of in webNetwork 5. It always issues a cd / at the beginning of 
the connection, thus if you leave the path blank it will automatically 
put in / . This causes a problem when you want it to have it default to 
the users homedirectory automatically. Normally when you FTP to a 
NetWare FTP server, if you don’t change the initial directory, it will 
default to your home directory. Which is what lead to creating the 
@@ftphomedir@@ variable.
