How to assign server access to client s through NFS export file

Question

Can anyone explain how to assign server access to client(s) through NFS export file?

Answer 1

Hi,

You can create the export folder, you will need to provide the clients the permission to access the host server machine. This permission is defined through the exports file located in your system’s /etc folder. Please use the following command in order to open this file through the Nano editor:

$ sudo nano /etc/exports

Editing this file needs root access; therefore you will need to use sudo with your command.
