hp nfs client

[chris cruthis]

Does HP make a nfs client for WinNT/Win2K? If not, can some one recommend a nfs client product or are they all generally the same?

Thanks.

HP does not have an NFS client for the PC, but they do have the CIFS software that lets you share out a file system on the HP-UX box and connect to it from NT as a regular NT share (CIFS Server).

There is also a CIFS Client package that lets you connect to NT shares from the HP-UX box.

This software is free, but is requires HP-UX 11.0 or 11i (11.11)

Here are the links to the HP CIFS software:

CIFS/9000 Client:

CIFS/9000 Server:http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8725AA

If you require NFS software for the PC:

WRQ:

Hummingbird:

Lab Tam:

XLink:

I haven't played with any of the above products except WRQ's product, and that was 5 years ago. They should all do what you require though.

Good Luck.

Maybe you and use Samba to share data between unix and windows .
for hpux10.20 and below , you can download the Samba software from www.samba.org. For HPUx11.0 and above , hp provide CIFS Server/Clent (depot file) software to share data ( HPUX samba).
