Sharing (Exporting) Items Using Network File System (NFS)
You can export share points to UNIX clients using NFS. (Export is the NFS term for sharing.)
To export an item using NFS:
1
In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.
2
Click the Share Points tab and select the share point you want to share using NFS.
3
Click the Advanced tab and choose NFS Export Settings from the pop-up menu.
4
Select “Export this item and its contents to” to export the item using NFS.
5
Use the pop-up menu to select who you want to be able to use this information—Client
or World.
By default, NFS exports to the client address 127.0.0.1, which is a loopback to the server
computer. This prevents you from inadvertently exporting a folder to World.
For greater security, do not export to World.
6
Click Add to specify clients who can receive this export.
