Select export folder |
If the folder you wish to export is on another computer (such as a file server), and the NFS Server is running on a Windows 95/98 computer, then you must first map the folder to a drive (e.g. X:).
If the NFS Server is running on a Windows NT/2000/XP/Server/Vista/7 computer, you may either specify the mapped network drive (e.g. X:) or the UNC path (e.g. \\filserver\ncprogs). In case of a mapped drive, the configuration program converts the mapped drive to a UNC path.
If you use network drives on NT, the configuration program prompts for an account and password if the NFS Server is set to auto start. This enables the NFS Server to run with the specified account without a user having to log on to the NT computer. Make sure the account has the necessary privileges to access the shared network drives.
See the section Novell Netware if you plan to export folders from a Novell Netware server.
