Look at your Windows/SunPCi configuration. Unfortunately I'm not

So there should be a way to set this up in SunPCi software ( or
Windows )


Overall, it turned out to be an NFS and user issue and not related to Windows at all. I read the documentation for SunPCi and found that documents created with Windows running under SunCPi should have the same username as the user who launched Windows in the first place, if that makes sense. So I knew that the issue didn't lie there.

The problem turned out to be that even though both computers, the NFS server and the client, had user names called "richard", they had differed UID's. I used usermod to make the UID value on the server for my account the same as the UID for the username on my desktop machine. So this part of the problem has been solved.

The second part, though, is setting the default permissions on the server in the web directories. All of the users need to belong to the group "staff". When I create files in the web directory, they need to be writable by the group; however, it seems that the files can be written to only by the owner.

I found that "umask 003" can ensure that the default permissions for the files are set properly, but I'm not sure if that will persist between sessions; in addition, I need to set the umask for all of the many subdirectories as well.
