nfs mount

[Jade Bulante]

I recently exported a directory for mounting.
/u04.
I edited the /etc/exports to export the file system and I issued the mount -F nfs command to mount the directory on the remote machine.
Problem:
The first time I use FTP, I can see all the directories inside the /u04. But the succeeding attempts, I see the /u04 directory but nothing else. This is when I issue the ls command and or use WSFTP. Do you know what's going on?? It looks like an empty directory??

hi,
your /u04 is in system A, you wanted to mount it on system B. after editing exports file in A, issue 'exportfs -a' command. at the system B issue 'mount A:/u04 mount_pt'

hope this solves ur problem

Hi,

If your command line ftp client supports it, try using the "nlist" command instead of "ls".

Did you setup /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess for the ftp user you use to connect to this machine? Did you check if the filesystem was mounted at the time you connected via ftp?
