I have a new SuSE 11 sp1 server that I need the ncpmount utility to transfer some data from another server. It is not load now. How do I go about getting the rpm to install it? Can someone tell me where I get it?

[http://software.opensuse.org/package/ncpfs](http://software.opensuse.org/package/ncpfs)

While the site is an [opensuse.org](http://opensuse.org) site, the list of downloads (and  
systems that it hosts repositories for) includes SLES/SLED11 SP1.

My bad, I did post on wrong forum. I wonder if that package gets install with OES? I have servers with SuSE and OES and the package is there, but the ones without the ncpfs package is not there. Thanks for the link.

No, you’re on th eright forum for SLES/SLED. ncpfs is an open-source  
implementation of the NCP stack for client operations. I don’t think  
it’s installed with OES (I don’t see it on my OES2 box). As Andy said,  
though, if it’s SLED or SLES (without OES), you can install the Novell  
Client for Linux to get the same functionality (I don’t think you can  
install it on a SLES box with OES on it, but I could be wrong about that).

Or rather, I do, when I type the package name correctly. m-/
