When using GSNW, NetWare file attributes are not exactly the same as those for Windows 2000 Server. Table 20-3 shows the file rights mapping between Windows 2000 Server and NetWare for files opened through GSNW.
Table 20-3. Comparing Windows and NetWare file attributes
Windows File Attributes | NetWare File Attributes |
---|---|
A (Archive) | A |
S (System) | Sy |
H (Hidden) | H |
R (Read-only) | Ro, Di (Delete inhibit), Ri (Rename inhibit) |
GSNW does not support the following NetWare file attributes:
When you copy a file from a Microsoft networking client to the NetWare file server by means of GSNW, the Ro, A, Sy, and H file attributes are preserved.
When you use a Windows 2000 Server running GSNW to directly access NetWare servers, you can use NetWare utilities, such as Filer and Rights, to set attributes that are not supported by GSNW.
