Using an NFS URL

When an NFS URL is used, the connection will be made using TCP transport, NFS version 3, port number 2049, and a public file handle. If any of these requirements cannot be met, the client uses a secondary option.

The WebNFS client connects to the server, following these rules:

• Use TCP protocol first. If the connection is refused, use UDP.

• Use NFS version 3. If rejected, use NFS version 2.

• Use port number 2049 on the server.

• Use a public file handle as an initial file handle with a lookup request. If the request is rejected, use the Mount protocol.

If the public file handle is used, locking/sharing will be disabled.
