Hi Mark

I don't recall that there is a single command as such - there is a free component that needs to be installed - the component used to be call Windows Services for Unix, as I just found. It's now called Subsystem for Unix-based Applications or something close to that. This subsystem is supposed to be a part of recent releases, but parts of it may need to be downloaded, according to a Wiki article I briefly scanned.

You just need to ask your Windows admin if they have set up an NFS server on that particular Windows machine.

Good luck - this is really a very good thing to have working - much better and more stable than QNTC, IMO.

Charles,

That might be it, but I have to check with the admin of the Windows server to be sure. What command would he use to create an NFS share?

But do you have the folder shared via NFS on the Windows system?

Windows standard file sharing is done via SMB; not NFS. You'd have to have
the "Unix Tools" loaded in windows to share a file via NFS.

I am attempting the following command:

- The target system name is in the hosts table (I can PING it), and I get
the same error if I use the IP address.

- /SharedFolder is a share on the remote (Windows) system.

- I can view the directory using Windows Explorer.

- /LocalFolder/Mark/ exists on the local IFS.

Can this be an authority issue? It would seem to be that it didn't get
that far, since the message seems to indicate that it can't locate the
server.

How would a user ID and password get passed to the remote server?
