You can use Distributed File System (DFS) to connect to a Network File System (NFS) share.

To configure DFS shares for NFS

  1. Set up an NFS server and create an NFS share.

  2. Install Client for NFS on the computer that is running DFS.

  3. On the DFS server, add a link in DFS that points to the share on the NFS server.

  4. To access the NFS share from any computer, connect to the DFS server as you would normally connect to any Windows file server.

  5. Browse to the link you created.
