saving files on a novell server

 [1/8] from: alban::gabillon::univ-pau::fr at: 6-Dec-2001 10:16


Hi Everybody I am beginner in Rebol. I would like to write a script which could save some of the files which are stored on my local disk into a local novell server. I tried to define a destination path like %//Novell_Server/accounts/gabillon but this is not recognised as an existing path. Any idea ? Thanks in advance ***************************** Alban Gabillon Université de Pau IUT, Département GTR 371 rue du ruisseau 40000 Mont de Marsan Tel: 05 58 05 76 05 Fax: 05 58 06 83 70 email: [gabillon--univ-pau--fr] http://www.univ-pau.fr/~gabillon http://csysec.univ-pau.fr ********************************

some of the files which are stored on my local disk into a local novell server. I tried to define a destination path like %//Novell_Server/accounts/gabillon but this is not recognised as an existing path. The path might be: %//Novell_Server/accounts/~gabillon Note the "~" in front of "gabillon". Also you might be confusing path! with file!, perhaps? For example:
>> type? %//Novell_Server/accounts/gabillon
== file! and:
>> type? 'Novell_Server/accounts/gabillon
== path! I hope that helps! Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://valley.150m.com/

Thank you for your answer Andrew, but this does not solve my problem. I am using MSWindow98. The novell server is connected to my local network and can be seen via the "network neigboorhood". When using MS Explorer, the path to the destination directory which is on this novell server is indicated as \\Novell_server\accounts\GABILLON, but rebol does not recognised it as a directory (dir? %\\Novell_server\accounts\GABILLON returns false). Actually rebol tries to find this directory on my local disk. ***************************** Alban Gabillon Université de Pau IUT, Département GTR 371 rue du ruisseau 40000 Mont de Marsan Tel: 05 58 05 76 05 Fax: 05 58 06 83 70 email: [gabillon--univ-pau--fr] http://www.univ-pau.fr/~gabillon http://csysec.univ-pau.fr ********************************

I think I found the answer to my question. The ipx protocol is not supported by rebol.

I've no idea if this will work but give it a try. I tried to emulate your problem using an NT machine. read to-rebol-file %"\\Novell_server\accounts\GABILLON\" Seemed to work for me on my own machine when I created a share. If that doesn't work consider mapping a drive to the share and using that. Brett.

Thank you to Patrick and Brett for their answer. The solution of Patrick works for me as well. ***************************** Alban Gabillon Université de Pau IUT, Département GTR 371 rue du ruisseau 40000 Mont de Marsan Tel: 05 58 05 76 05 Fax: 05 58 06 83 70 email: [gabillon--univ-pau--fr] http://www.univ-pau.fr/~gabillon http://csysec.univ-pau.fr ********************************

Hi I have tested this, and it works for me write %test.txt read %"/serveurnovell/transfert/transfer/pph/rebol.txt" Patrick

Why do you solve it that way? We use novell servers thru all our company and it is ABSOLUTELY normal, that we map network volumes to some driver letters. You can do it yourself too. You surely use damned MS client, ignoring NetWare login script, getting you into some data-loss risks, etc. Me, as a network admin - would not allow machine without proper Netware client on our network ... that's in regard to philosophy of Netware usage :-) now - why do you use backslashes? try: dir? %//Novell_server/accounts/GABILLON so ... I tried it and ... simply remove one slash at the beginning of your path ... dir? %/Novell_server/accounts/GABILLON will work, I can bet ;-) Cheers, -pekr-
