Not quite, Bill. The CMS NFS client enables you to see Windows folders as mounted directories in BFS, not as filemodes. > Or vice > versa, from windows, a vm minidisk appears as if it is > a folder on the windows machine. The VM NFS server will allow a Windows machine to see a minidisk as a drive letter with no subdirectories. SFS and BFS directory trees are visible as a drive letter with navigable subdirectories. > It?s a more secure protocol then FTP. Eh? No it isn't. (Where do these nasty rumors come from?) If you have an SSL-enabled FTP client that supports static SSL, you have MORE security with FTP. > Is there a way for a VM userid to see a windows folder?? Not on a Windows workstation, no, as it doesn't have an NFS server. I'm pretty sure you have to have Windows Server. (Unless you've bought a 3rd-party NFS server to install.)
