The Network File System (NFS) protocol is a fundamental component of most UNIX networks, and it enables PC and UNIX workstations to access files on the other system. This section describes how to set up NFS exports, the prerequisites, and supported client protocols.
The VSP One File server implements the file-serving functions of an NFS server, providing normal file-serving functions such as:
- Managing exports.
- Handling files, including reading, writing, creating, and linking files.
- Manipulating directories, including creating, reading, and searching directories.
- Enabling byte-range locking for files.
- Managing file access control (permissions).
- Managing file and directory attributes, including size and access time.
- Supporting hardlinks and symbolic (soft) links.
