Very Computer

Could someone please tell me if it is possible to copy a file
from a PC directly to another PC configured with PC-NFS.  I
don't think this is possible, but I just want to make sure.
Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I wouln't think it is possible. First the file systems are different,
second the security features of NFS might not allow it.

Depends... If file transfer is good enough, check out PCNFS 5.0. It comes
with an FTPD, which I usually run under a DOS box in Windows. I can then
do an ftp from any PC in the neighbourhood (with a nice front-end, so no
need to touch the keyboard) to any PC running the FTPD as an iconised application
and transfer any files from both machines around.

If you wanna do file sharing, you will need other products. Check out this
month's Unixworld, it reviews 2 products that have those capabilities (NFS
server for MS Windows 3.1).

Farid.

P.S.: Personally, I think an NFS server for MS Windows is nice, but not vital.
      At least not for MS Windows 3.1, which is not true multitasking. For NT
      however...
