Connecting a Novell Server to a Windows NT Server

[kayla]

How can I connect a Novell server to a folder located on a Windows NT server? Currently I have the same folder on both servers and I have to constantly sync them in order to keep their contents identical. This is a pain! From my Novell server, is there any way to connect to the folder which originates on a Windows NT server?

Not sure how to do it from the Novell server. Only thing I can think of is to find a cron utility(which there are some for Novell, but not sure how to connect the Netware server to NT) and copy the directories over at certain times. Of find a utility that will keep the two directories synced(sp).

Novell is in the process of releasing a new program called iFolder. It is designed to do specifically what you want, and that is synching the data on multiple servers. It is due out soon, but you may just want to go out to

You can do it the other way around. On the NT server, add the GSNW (gateway service for Netware). Then you can create an NT share which actually points to the NetWare directory. The directory would only exist on the NetWare box, so no need to sync.
