How to Browse Using an NFS URL

Browsers capable of supporting the WebNFS service should provide access to an NFS URL that resembles the following:


nfs://server<:port>/path

server

Name of the file server 

port

Port number to use (the default value is 2049)

path

Path to file, which can be relative to the public file handle or to the root file system 


Note –

In most browsers, the URL service type (for example, nfs or http) is remembered from one transaction to the next. The exception occurs when a URL that includes a different service type is loaded. After you use an NFS URL, a reference to an HTTP URL might be loaded. If so, subsequent pages are loaded by using the HTTP protocol instead of the NFS protocol.
