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.
