Student Directions for Using Novell Netstorage

Please read through the directions below.

Make sure you select "SAVE" or "SAVE AS" when you select your file.

Save the Document into your Documents, My Documents, Desktop, or Downloads folder.  You want to make sure you know the folder location you saved your file.

If you select "Open" and begin working on the file, you may store the document in a temporary internet file location and potentially lose your work on the file.

You will be prompted with a security certificate when you use Netstorage.    

The current certificate on the server is an internally generated file and has not been verified by a certificate authority.  This causes your browser to view the site as on unsecure site.
