NSS2000 Getting Started Guide
To access the NSS storage using FTP:
From your FTP client application, connect to the NSS. Enter the IP address or
hostname of the NSS. For more information about using your FTP client
application, refer to its documentation.
Enter your username and password when prompted by your FTP client.
When your FTP client has logged in, a list of accessible shares appears as
individual directories.
Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
UNIX and Linux users can access shares on the NSS via NFS. Due to the way that
the NSS implements NFS file access privileges, only NFSv3 is supported. In order
for NFS access privileges to work correctly, you must have the NSS joined to an
NIS domain.
Log into the client system as root.
Create a mount point directory for the mount if you do not already have one (e.g.,
mkdir /mnt/nas_share1).
Mount the NFS share by typing "mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 <IP address/
hostname>:<mount point path on NSS> <mount point path on client>". The mount
point path on the NSS appears in the Shares page.
Log out of the root account.
Log into the user account on the client system.
NOTE: You must have root privileges to your
client system to create an NFS mount.
