Мount is fine.
Problem is encoded for client in Cyrillic in file names and directories on server.

Ok, got a chance to dive into some old notes (thank god for the search feature in Vibe :P)
There I found the following command that I once needed to properly mount to a NetWare Cluster node (I think it was something a derived from an old CoolSolution article… anyway):
mount -t ncp -o tcp,ipserver=[servername],codepage=cp850,passwd=***,noupcasepasswd,volume=[volume name], [servername]/[user].[context] /[mountpoint]
As it contains a codepage entry… it might be what you are looking for. Could be the codepage set on your Novell server is different and you need to match it.
Mount Novell Netware 5.1 - 6.5 - codepage is known
command
ncpmount -A 10.44.44.44 -U ap -P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -o iocharset=utf8,owner=root,uid=root,gid=root,
filemode=666,dirmode=777,codepage=cp866,multiple 10.44.44.44 /mnt/nw_mnt
it work (and cyrillic filenames and directories)
ncpmount SLES10sp3&OES2sp2a codepage - problem
ncpmount -A 10.55.55.55 -U ap -P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -o iocharset=utf8,owner=root,uid=root,gid=root,
filemode=666,dirmode=777,codepage=utf8,multiple 10.55.55.55 /mnt/s_mnt
cyrillic filenames and directories - … [0411][0430][043d][043a] [043f][0440][0430][0432][043e][0432][044b][0445] [0430][043a][0442][043e][0432] …
client computer - several linux (and SLES10sp3), server - Novell NetWare 6.5 (old server); ncpmount - not problem for command: ncpmount … -o codepage=cp866 …
client computer - several linux and SLES10sp3, server - SLES10sp3&OES2sp2a (new test server); ncpmount - problem view for Cyrillic filenames and directories
Sure & good question: NFS, CIFS/Samba, SFTP (over SSH), FTP being the ones that come to mind directly… depends on what you are planning to do with the data on the OES server.
From all the options configuring CIFS on the OES server would be the simplest in my mind, as also file locking (and cross protocol locking, when talking a recent OES version) mechanisms are in place which is usually a good idea to have.
If your data is on NSS volumes, having CIFS means transparent access as the login and rights granted on the CIFS share are equal to those you would get when logged in and coming from NCP side (Novell Client).
Got my wires crossed with the NetWare bits posted…
