Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES)
Novell NetStorage
Situation
While trying to upload, rename or delete files or folders using
Finder, any of the following errors might occur:
- A newer item named "
" already exists in this location...
- The operation cannot be completed because an item with name"
" already exists
- Filename "
" already exists
- The name "
" is already taken. Please choose a different name
- A folder with this name already exists
Resolution
As a workaround, experienced users can use a terminal console to
upload, rename and delete files or folders.
The connection to the NetStorage server can be established by either Finder or the mount_webdav command in the terminal console. You will then have remote location mounted to the file system.
Here are examples of file operations:

Here are examples of file operations:
- Find the mount point of your remote files and directories:
mount | grep webdav
- Upload a file:
cp filename
/mount/point/remote/dir/path
- Rename a file
mv
/mount/point/remote/dir/path/oldname
/mount/point/remote/dir/path/newname
- Delete a file
rm
