Introducing NetStorage
NetStorage allows you to access files located on Drew's Causeway NetWare
cluster from off-campus. Using NetStorage, you can download and work on
files located on your F:, G:, and K: drives using a modern web browser.
NetStorage provides two ways to access your files, via a modern web-browser,
or via WebDAV using a WebDAV client. Look below to see which one is right
for you.
- Supports any modern web browser (Mozilla 1.7, Mozilla Firefox,
Safari 1.0, or Internet Explorer 6)
- Does not require any configuration or software to be installed.
- Allows you to upload, download, create folders, move, copy,
delete, and salvage files.
- Does not allow you to upload/download multiple files at a time.
- Does not allow file access directly from within Microsoft Office
applications.
Choose browser-based...
- ... when you are using someone else's computer or a public workstation.
- ... when you need quick access to single files from your network
drives.

- Uses a WebDAV client (CNS supports the WebDAV client built into
Windows 2000/XP)
- Requires one-time set up of WebDAV URL in Windows.
- Allows you to upload, download, create folders, move, copy,
and delete files.
- Allows you to upload/download multiple files at a time.
- Allows you to access files directly from within Microsoft Office
applications' Open and Save dialogs.
Choose WebDAV...
- ... when you are using your own computer, and will need frequent
access to your network files.
- ... when you need to upload/download multiple files at once.
- ... when you want to access your network files directly from
within Microsoft Office applications' Open and Save dialog boxes.

Please note: NetStorage is intended for off-campus use and is
not a replacement for the Novell Client when on-campus. When on-campus,
please access your files via the Novell Client using their standard drive
letters (F:, G:, K:, etc.) for best results.
