NFS File and Print Services for Microsoft Windows
The Solstice NFS Client software gives you the high-performance file sharing, connectivity, and caching capabilities that lie at the heart of the full Solstice Network Client. This new update to the popular Solstice NFS Client software adds new capabilities to further enhance your networking performance and access.
- Strengthened Windows and UNIX® Integration
Solstice NFS Client 3.2 continues Sun's tradition of offering you the best in Windows and UNIX integration and leverage.
- Synchronized Passwords on Windows NT
Previously available for Windows 95 users, Sun now provides an easy-to-use way for Windows NT users to synchronize passwords between Windows and UNIX environments.
- Windows 98 Beta Compatibility
Solstice NFS Client 3.2 installs and operates on the current Beta releases of Microsoft Windows 98.
- WebNFS Client
WebNFS Client allows users to browse file systems on a WebNFS
server over the Internet - just as they now can browse NFS
servers on a NFS network. In addition, users are able to mount
shared resources across the Internet using NFS Web addresses.
- DOS Printing for Windows 95
Users can now print to a network printer from a DOS-based PC
application. They can also map a network printer to a local printer port,
so that it can be accessed from a 16-bit DOS application.
- PC-CacheFS for Windows NT
Already available for Windows 95, PC-CacheFS enables Windows NT
clients to use local disk caching of network resources in order
to reduce network load and increase performance.
-
Enhanced PCNFSD Daemon
The PCNFSD daemon is now multithreaded, allowing the daemon to service
requests from many more clients than was previously possible.
Solstice NFS Client offers the high-performance NFS file sharing and disk caching found in Solstice Network Client, but in a smaller, less expensive package, without the network applications included in the full Solstice Network Client package. This enables a network administrator to provide users with access to NFS file and print services on a network without having to install and pay for network applications and functionality that the average user may not require.
Solstice NFS Client provides high-performance access to network file and printing services using NFS v3 and Sun's breakthrough Solstice PC-CacheFS network caching technology.
Solstice NFS Client is available for the 32-bit Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT platforms and for the 16-bit Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 platforms. However, only the 32-bit versions are available for downloading.
