Accessing iFolder Using a Web Browser

You can access your Novell® iFolder® files on the iFolder server using a Web browser. Use the directory browser on your workstation to view your local iFolder data.

Novell iFolder provides two Web access interfaces:

The iFolder Java Applet

In iFolder 2.1 and 2.1.1, the iFolder Java applet provides basic file access to your iFolder data. You can browse, upload, download, copy, move, delete, and rename files.

  1. Go to the iFolder Web site using one of these methods:

    • Right-click the iFolder icon in your system tray, then click iFolder Web Site.

    • Type this URL in your Web browser:

      http://nif1.your-domain-name.com/iFolder

      where nif1.your-domain-name.com is the actual DNS name or IP address of your iFolder server. The URL is case sensitive. Get the actual URL from your iFolder administrator.

  2. Click Login.

  3. Log in using your iFolder account username and password.

  4. If you use encryption, enter your encryption passphrase.

Novell NetStorage

In iFolder 2.1.x, you can access your iFolder data on the iFolder server through Novell NetStorage if your system administrator makes this option available to you. You can use many of the same conventions for expanding and collapsing folders and opening files that are available in Windows* Explorer.

Open your Web browser to one of the following URLs:

Replace ns1.your-domain-name.com with the actual DNS name or IP address of your NetStorage server. The URL is case sensitive. Get the actual URL information from your system administrator.
