Connecting to a LAN Manager for UNIX Systems Server
Working with NetWare Connectivity
NOTE: The information in this appendix applies to LAN Manager Basic and Enhanced
workstations.
Also (except for the last section “Using the Kermit Terminal Emulator”), this
appendix is for users who are experienced with UNIX system commands.
This appendix contains information for using the UNIX operating system
from your workstation, including the following:
• Using special commands available on the LAN Manager server to work with files
from the UNIX and MS-DOS operating systems
• Using the Kermit terminal emulator to log on to UNIX system host computers on
your network or outside of your network
Some of your LAN Manager servers may run as an application on the UNIX
operating system. The server computer may contain files that are accessible
to UNIX system users but are not accessible to MS-DOS users at
LAN Manager workstations. Conversely, files you create in the MS-DOS
environment may not be accessible to UNIX system users. This could cause
problems when you try to access certain files on the server, or when some-
one working in the UNIX system tries to access one of your shared files.
This appendix contains information for making the files on your network
accessible to users working in different environments.
Some of the tools you will use to make files accessible are special
commands available on the LAN Manager for UNIX Systems server. These
commands enable you to do the following:
• List and rename UNIX system files
• Convert your text files from MS-DOS format to UNIX system format and vice
versa
• Change the UNIX system access permissions of files and subdirectories
To access these commands you must link to the shared directory DOSUTIL
on a LAN Manager for UNIX Systems server. Contact your administrator
for further information. In addition, some of these special commands can be
used to execute UNIX system commands on the server from your worksta-
tion. The following table lists the special commands and the sections in
which they are described.
