NFS client

Jay Cantwell — Tue, 04 May 2004 12:12:49 GMT

I am researching setting up NFS. My question is can the client be a windows NT or 2000 system, and do I do the client setup using the same instructions as listed in the documentation ??

thanks .. Jay

I think CIFS could be the best option in your case.

Configure CIFS server on Unix Box and Client on WIN NT machine.

Refer to the link below:http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/operating/infolibrary/whitepapers/cifs_9000.pdf

CIFS is the best way as far as I know. There used to be a windows package called NFS client for windows but this was way before SAMBA was out. I am not sure if there is sucha thing right now.

Windows has a free CIFS/Samba client built into the OS, all the way back to Windows 98.

An NFS client will require additional, possibly expensive software.
