- Edit the file /etc/exports. Add the folder you want to share and set the permittions for the host PC ip address:

  • /home/user 192.168.2.14(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check) 

- Restart the UNFS3 server:

  • # /etc/init.d/unfs3 restart 

- Verify if the sharing is ok running "showmount" in the PC (needs nfs-common package):
