Hi,All

I encounter a problem.
ultra10 has solaris 10 installed. I shared /pub as rw,everyone.

#showmount -e
export list for ultra10:
/pub (everyone)

The ultra10 is connected to a router.
# ping ultra10's global IP
ultra10 is alive

# mount -o soft ultra10_global_IP:/pub /mnt
mount to NFS server 'ultra10_global_IP' failed: server is down.


I suspect the router port forwarding is the RCA of the issue.

I opened port 2049 which is for NFS. But I also failed to mount the ultra10 FS into my linux box.

I wonder whether NFS is just for intranet use not for inernet.

Can you give me some advices? Thank you.

NFS is not designed to be used over the Internet.

Why aren't you simply using FTP ?

I wonder whether can get a directory at one time. If having some methods rather than typing put and get repeatly.

Thank you very much.
