I want to use the NetWare server as an ftp host in the DMZ. how do i enable Windows clients to map a drive to the netware box to transfer uploaded files to the windows server? thanks for the help

Huh? You want to FTP files to the NetWare server? Or to the WIndows box?

FTP to the netware box, accessible from the XP pc's via CIFS NFA.

I'm having trouble with CIFS Native File Access from an XP client to the Novell server. The server show up in Network neighborhood with the _w suffix, ftpserver_w, but when I try to connect I get "ftpserver_w is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation."
The company is using cyberlynk ftp services, paying $440/yr for 2GB of storage. I suggested in-house ftp, but they said they were worried about security, which is why I went with the NW OS. I put up an old workstation with 512MB of RAM, 20GB HDD that should do the job, but they need CIFS access to the server.

Shineon, great suggestion using NetStorage instead of CIF's. I'm working on it, but having some struggles. On back burner for a while.
