Although the networking commands telnet, ftp, and rsh provide extremely useful access to files on other machines, your network can be even more useful if you have a distributed filesystem. In a distributed filesystem, you can read, edit, delete, and otherwise access files on another machine just as if the files were on your local machine.
Your UnixWare Desktop or UnixWare 7 Enterprise Edition provides filesharing capabilities
between other SCO OpenServer systems, via the Network File
System (NFS), as well as between UnixWare systems
and other operating systems. These capabilities are
provided by
SCO VisionFS
, to provide filesharing capabilities to DOS, OS/2,
or Windows personal computers. See
UNRESOLVED XREF-0
for details.
When NFS is configured by your system administrator on your
network, you will be able to transparently access and manipulate
files on other machines as if they were local to your machine.
