Hi@akhtar,

To configure NFS server in your system, you can follow the below given steps.

• Install NFS server.

$ yum install nfs-utils  // CentOS/RHEL
$ apt-get install nfs-utils  // Ubuntu

• Create one folder.

$ mkdir /fol1

• Open /etc/exports file and write ip of your another system

/fol1        ip

• Start NFS server.

$ systemctl start nfs-server

And your Nfs server is ready.
