Re: Enabled Windows File Access from VMS through NFS

It depends on your TCP/IP package (and,
perhaps on its version and/or your VMS
version).

For example, using HP's TCPIP V5.4 - ECO 5
on VMS V7.3-2 (Alpha), a MOUNT command like
this might do something:

tcpip mount dnfs0: "" log_name -
/host = host_name /path = "D:\folder" -
/auto

where "log_name" is a logical name which
you can use to access the actual DNFSx:
device which will be created by the MOUNT
command, "host_name" is the name of the NFS
server, and "D:\folder" is the actual path
used on the NFS server (whatever gets
exported from there -- I don't know what
the format is in Windows XP).

You'll probably also need to add an NFS
proxy, as in TCPIP HELP ADD PROXY.

TCPIP HELP MOUNT has more details, too.
