How to create NFS

to create NFS server. we will need to install nfs-utils


---SERVER---

OS version : CENTOS 7

1- Install the nfs utils.
Server > yum -y install nfs-utils

2- Start the server
Server > systemctl start nfs-server
Server > systemctl enable nfs-server
Server > systemctl status nfs-server

3- Create new directory for sharing. you can skip this one if you want to share current folder

Server > mkdir /myshare

4- all nfs setting is stored on /etc/exports. so you can edit the file to add your share folder

Server >echo "/myshare *(rw)" >> /etc/exports #this will share the folder to all with RW permission.

5- execute the change

Server > exportfs -r

---DESKTOP---

in destop side you can mount the newly created NFS. you maybe need root to mount share folder.

Desktop > mount <serrver name @ IP>:/myshare /<your folder name>

Desktop > df -h /servershare/
