Description:
It is very easy for novice administrators to put in an incorrect path when creating NCP shares. The novice admins can have mistakes in capitalization (since Linux is case sensitive and Netware is not), mistake similar paths ( /opt/novell instead of /var/opt/novell ) misplace slashes, and make simple typos. When combined with the "create path if it does not exist" checkbox, there are many possibilities for disaster.

Proposed Solution:
Create a "Select Path" button next to the NCP path field that would and allow an admin to drill down into the file system until the appropriate directory could be found and selected (much like the other path links in Remote Manager). Once selected, the selected, accurate path would be copied into the path field of the create NCP share screen.

Value Proposition:
Fewer admin mistakes when creating or administering NCP shares.
