Still learning my way around Linux. I am running Sophos Enterprise
Console on a Windows box with the Novell Client. It is updating
folder structures on a NetWare server and a couple of OES 11 servers.
The Netware server is hosting a website that I want to move to SLES
11. What would be the simplest method to give the Windows box access
to the SLES 11 file system so Sophos can do its thing? I need to
provide a UNC path for Sophos to use.
Thanks,
Ken
If they really are OES boxes you could potentially mount drives to both
servers using the Novell Client and then sophos wouldn’t know anything
about the actual filesystems. Otherwise you can setup SMB pretty easily,
either on SLES or OES, for access to whatever location.
If you were not constrained by sophos I’d recommend just accessing the
filesystem via SSH since it’s already enabled and simple and secure.
Tools like winscp are available for free to provide this access, but any
old Linux box could do this as well in KDE or Gnome using the regular file
browser tools built into the system.

Good luck.

They are OES boxes and I am using the Novell client for those and it
works fine. But now I have a SLES box that I need to figure out how
to handle. I’ll take a look at SMB.

I currently use putty and winscp to access my SLES boxes. But that
won’t help me with Sophos.

That was fairly easy. Thanks!
