Pathname of the exported file system on Windows NFS Server

NFS Client runs on UNIX.
NFS Server runs on Windows.


How to specify the device (Windoes-directory/folder) to be mounted on
mount point (UNIX-directory)?


The problem is how to set the pathname of the exported file system on
Windows NFS Server.


For UNIX NFS Server the pathname might be set as it follows
<IP address of UNIX machine>:/dir1/dir2


For instance, Windows machine contains folder C:\folder1\folder2 that
is to be exported.
How to set the pathname? What to do with "C:"?


It seems that
<IP address of UNIX machine>:C:\folder1\folder2
doesn't work.

You set the share name on the Windows machine as described in an article in
Help & Support. You will need to consult the Unix folks about how to mount
the Share on the Unix system.

Which NFS server? Windows doesn't come with a built-in one. If you use SFU
then right-click a folder, go to its properties and select NFS sharing to
export it. The remote name you specify will be the name to give on the Unix
side.

Depends on NFS server. If you use SFU then just share the folder
(Right-click/Properties/NFS Sharing) and there you can specify the mount
name to expose.
