Setting up an FTP Server

[dpellegrini]

We have a mixed 5.1/4.11 Netware network. We have setup an FTP server on the 5.1 box (sp2a). We are attempting to use this server as a means for outside users to access some of their files on our 4.11 server. We've followed a few of Novell's TID's (using the new nwftpd.nlm, changing the settings in ftpserv.cfg, etc). But we have not had any luck getting the FTP users to access the other server. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work, if it is even possible?
Thanks

I could be way off here, but I would assume that you can't use ftp to get to files that aren't on the actual ftp server. Michael A. Dontato MCNE, MCSE, CCA

That's the problem. According to Novell, it can be done by installing the new nwftpd.nlm file. But we did this and it didn't work.

I have been able to do this, but I had to use the command line option in the ftp client (WSFTP) to make it work. Type cd//server name/volume name at the command prompt and this will change your directory to whatever server you need. Granted, this isn't the prettiest way to do it, but it works.
