Configuring NFS-Server

To configure NFS-Server, click on the Export button. The NFS Server - Settings dialog box appears on your display.

You can then change the Exported Directories Table and the NFS User Access Table.

You can add new directories to the Exported Directories Table or remove them from it.

You can add new remote users to the NFS User Access Table or remove them from it for any selected exported path.

Mode

NFS-Server supports (by default) the 'best for UNIX' name re-mapping, i.e. remote UNIX NFS clients (and UNIX programs which use mounted files) are able to perform all UNIX file operations (including full case-sensitivity).

You can choose one of the three modes to convert directory/file names passing through NFS-Server:

• Use shift symbol - using the Shift Symbol option (by default) while converting names
• Upper case - converting directory/file names to upper case
  (for example, FILEname => FILENAME, Aa => AA)
• Allow illegal chars - allowing for some special characters to be used in directory/file names (by NFS clients)
  (i.e., illegal in names, such as '"', '*', ':', '$', '|', etc).

(Also see the NameConvertMode setting in section The [NFSSERVER] section of the ini-file.)

Shift Symbol

If you select the Use shift symbol mode then you may use the Shift Symbol option.

The Shift Symbol list box lets you choose a character to indicate case changing of letters in directory/file names while remote-local name converting. Shift Symbol '!' is used by default.

NFS-Server uses the Shift Symbol as 'escape-symbol' on your PC, i.e. each upper-case letter in a remote name will be converted to a pair 'escape-symbol and lower-case letter' in a related local name and each such pair in a local name will be converted back to the capitalized letter in a related remote name
(for example, FILEname <==> !f!i!l!ename, Aa <==> !aa, aA <==> a!a).

Refresh frequency

Refresh frequency is used to specify cycle time for NFS-Server to update status information.

Enable logging

If checked, this check box enables storing the information (about the NFS-Server's start/finish and every mount/unmount command) in the nfslog.txt file in the WinaXe's home directory.

OK

By clicking OK, any new settings you make to the NFS Server - Settings dialog box will be saved in the xwp.ini file (by default) and the dialog will be closed (making them active immediately).

Cancel

You can cancel any changes you have made to the dialog box and close it by pressing Cancel.

Adding an Exported Directory

To add an exported directory to the current list, click on the Add directory button. The Select directory window will appear on your display.

Specify the Drive and Directories fields for export.

After clicking OK the selected directory will appear on the Export Directories list box in the NFS Server - Settings window. Clicking on Cancel will not change the current list.

Removing an Exported Directory

To remove a directory from the Export Directories list:

1. Select a directory in the Export Directories list box;
   
   
2. Click on the Remove button.
