NFS Manager 2 (for legacy systems)
Features
- NFS Manager provides a clearly laid out graphical user interface to almost all built-in NFS functions of Mac OS X. Using NFS features becomes very easy.
- Share folders of a Mac OS X computer for usage in a network. Among many other options, certain computers can be excluded from access, and it is possible to define read-only shares.
- There are no limits how many computers are allowed to access an NFS share. It also doesn't play a role which folders you like to share. They only have to fulfill the technical requirements of the NFS standard (e.g. supporting POSIX permissions).
- Configure one or multiple computers in your network to automatically connect to NFS shares during startup (automounting).
- Configure extended communication parameters, e.g. the desired protocol version, TCP or UDP transport settings, options for performance optimization, file locks, etc.
- Test remote NFS servers what shared folders they are offering to the network.
- Display active connections to NFS servers, browse through protocol statistics, or create a manual connection to a file server.
- NFS Manager automatically detects your directory services configuration. When using Apple Open Directory, you can define automounts not only for one computer but for the whole network if necessary. Configure your NFS setup with a few mouse clicks, no matter if your network contains 5, 500, or 5,000 computers.
- NFS Manager also supports the remote configuration of directory servers that are using Open Directory (Mac OS X Server version 10.1 or later)
- There is full compatibility with the Workgroup Manager of Mac OS X Server. You can completely replace Workgroup Manager by NFS Manager when handling NFS configuration tasks and make use of its extended feature set.
- NFS Manager fully supports the Mac OS X keychain when storing passwords for directory servers, if desired. Automatic detection of NFS servers is possible via SLP and Bonjour.
