NetFile Overview
NetFile is a Java-based client application that enables you to access remote file systems, as well as carry out remote operations on files and directories. These remote files and directories need to be on the same network as the Sun Java System Portal Server to which you are connected.
After you choose NetFile from the standard Portal Desktop menu, a new browser window opens. You are also asked for additional permissions. You must grant all requested permissions to use NetFile.
Caution
The NetFile browser window must remain open the entire time your NetFile session is running. Do not close this window until your session is over. You can minimize the window if you prefer.
When you finish using NetFile, you need to close all extra browser windows opened during your NetFile session. An extra browser window appears when you open or download a file.
Using NetFile
The main NetFile window includes two panes: Network Neighborhood and File Display. The Network Neighborhood pane shows the systems you currently have access to, and the directories under the current system, share or directory. The File display pane displays the files in the selected directory or share on the selected system.
If your system administrator has set up a list of systems for you, these are displayed in the Network Neighborhood pane. If not, you can only see the Network Neighborhood icon, and you need to manually add systems as required.
From the main NetFile window you have several options. For more information, see:
