In Windows 3.x, you can access NFS from the File Manager or by double-clicking the NFS Assistant icon in the Cisco Suite 100 program group. When you use NFS, you first identify the remote computer and the mount point you want to copy files from, the drive letter for the connection, and then you log into the computer. Once you are connected, the NFS file system appears like any other drive on your workstation.
To map a drive to an NFS server directory:
The NFS Servers list identifies all NFS servers you have identified in the Servers tab.
The Current Connections list identifies all drives mapped on your workstation. Drives mapped to NFS directories appear in boldface type; all other drives are grayed.
The terminal icon expands to show the directories available on this server.
The selected directory appears in the Path field. To specify a more unique path, add the desired information to the Path field. If desired, you can use either UNIX, OpenVMS, or DOS naming conventions when specifying the path. Click the arrow to the right of the Path field to list the most recently used paths. You can also use the Path field to send commands to the NFS server. Refer to the online help for more information.
The Cisco TCP/IP Suite for Windows NFS Connect dialog box appears.
Note
You must specify an authentication server if the NFS server is a workstation or another host that does not maintain user names and passwords.
If desired, you can now configure options for this connection. The following section explains how to configure connection options.
