Sharing Files

A network file server can control which files are available for sharing. It can also control which clients have access to the files, and what type of access is permitted to those clients. In general, the file server can grant read/write or read-only access either to all clients or to specific clients. Access control is specified when resources are made available with the share command.

A server can use the /etc/dfs/dfstab file to list the file systems it makes available to clients on the network. See the System Administration Guide, Volume 3 for more information about sharing files.
