So from a command line I can type in mount \\unixserver\usr\local\www w: to map my w drive to the /usr/local/www export on my apache server. I am still having problems with permissions, and the software doesn't run under win 95. The software is called services for unix, I cant find the link at the moment and the search engine is down but it shouldnt be too hard to find. cheers craig -----Original Message----- From: Chris Fedde [mailto:chris@fedde.littleton.co.us] Sent: Friday, 2 June 2000 13:50 To: james Cc: support@tecpro.com; questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: NFS -vs- Samba On Fri, 2 Jun 2000 15:09:53 +0930 (CST) james wrote: +------------------ | Thanks for the explanation, makes it much easier to understand - can you | tell me where I could find a nfs client (freebie, preferably) for NT/98 | etc ? | | regards | | james +------------------ Strangely enough I am not aware of any freeware or cheep NFS clients for the PC. A quick search at google for "pc nfs client freeware" returned this... http://www.biostat.washington.edu/pc/pcnfs.html It's a bit stale but may provide reasonable fodder for a more extensive search. chris -- Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
