Q.
I am new to NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) programming and C-programming. I would like to write an NLM that copies a list of files from a central server. The list of files will be in a text file. I know how to read the text file, but my problem is connecting to the central server and copying the files.
If someone could just point me in the right direction i.e: Use this API then that API, etc. I am an experienced Delphi programmer, just new to C and NLMs.
A.
The process is quite similar to opening a NetWare connection to another server from Delphi (without Win32 APIs):
Open a new connection to server B
Login/authenticate to server B
Read/write the file
Disconnect (optional)
