With NFS (Network File System), you can share files via the network. The NFS server exports a system file, and the NFS client (your thin client) links this file to a mount point within its own file system. The exported file system then becomes a logical part of the thin client file system although, in physical terms, it remains on the server.
In order to set up an NFS mount, the server must first be configured. You will find detailed information on NFS on the relevant pages of the manual for your server operating system.
The procedure for sharing files via the NFS server is as follows:
Click on Add to open the dialog window for NFS.
You can then enter the following:
Enabled | The NFS mount is enabled by default and is mounted each time the system boots. Disable this entry if the shared file system is not universally needed. |
Local directory | Details of the local directory onto which the shared items are to be mounted on the local thin client file system. |
Server | The name or IP address of the NFS server which provides the shared files. |
Path name | Details of the path name as exported by the NFS server. |
