  3. Open your browser. If you are running Windows 7, use the Run as Administrator option.

  4. Log into NetStorage by using the following URL:

    http://IP or DNS/netstorage

    where IP or DNS is your OES 11 SP2 server’s IP address or DNS name.

  5. Type linux2_lum-edir as the User Name, type the associated password in the Password field, then click OK.

  6. In the left navigation frame, click the Linux_Home_Directories storage location you created in Section 10.2.2, Creating a Storage Location Object in iManager.

  8. Right-click the file in the right frame and notice that you can move, copy, download, delete, and rename the file through the NetStorage interface.

  10. Close the Properties window, right click the file again, and select Delete.

  11. Click OK.

    The file is deleted.

    Although the file was owned by the linux1_lum-edir user who copied it to the folder, linux2_lum-edir can delete the file because it has all rights to the folder.

    For a brief overview of what the different POSIX rights allow on directories and files, see Linux (POSIX) File System Access Rights in the OES 11 SP2: Planning and Implementation Guide.

  12. Click File > Upload.

    Again, if you don’t see the box, try moving the NetStorage Window.

  13. Click the Browse button, browse to the Documents folder, select the first file, and click Open.

  14. Using the plus (+) sign next to Browse to add files to be uploaded, repeat the process of browsing, selecting, and opening the other three files.

    The first files you select might scroll up and off the display, but they are still selected for uploading.

  15. Click the Upload button.

    All four files should now be copied to the linux2_lum-edir directory.
