Software for Mac OS X
NFS Manager
NFS Manager is a graphical user interface to control all built-in NFS features of Mac OS X. It can manage a whole network of Mac OS X computers to setup a distributed NFS file system via a few simple mouse clicks.
NFS (Network File System) is the industry standard for file sharing on UNIX
systems like Mac OS X. Each Mac OS X system can be setup as an NFS
server to offer files to the network, or as an NFS client to
access files shared by other computers. Different from other file sharing protocols
built into Mac OS X, NFS has no limitations in the number of users or connections
concurrently active. In addition, NFS can be setup to connect to servers fully
automatically (“automounting”) without any password entries being necessary.
