Steps to work on a remote NFS workspace (Hosted on linux) from the Windows client machine.
GOAL:
- Work from the Windows local machine on a remote NFS workspace.
solution: Mount the remote NFS volume on the client Windows machine.
- Set up an editor to work with the workspace.
solution: Sublime Text is a good fit for C++ and various other languages, currently almost FREE!
1. Set up windows as NFS client.
- Click “start” -> search for “windows features” -> click “Turn Windows features on or off” -> “select services for NFS”
2. Set up user credentials for write access. [WARNING! A hacker who gains access to this machine can get the UID and GID of the remote server]
- click start -> search for “regedit” -> goto “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default” -> right click “new”
- Create DWORD(32-bit) keys as shown below.
- Find UID and GID :
- goto to the remote server machine -> enter “id” at the bash shell -> the UID and GID are in decimal.
3. Mount NWS to your local machine.
- Open Cmd and enter,
mount IP_Addr:/vol/vol_nfs_janani z: (replace volume name and drive letter)
- Find the new drive under "my Computer".
