    /etc/exports is a file, not a directory. Display it onscreen with "more /etc/exports" or "cat /etc/exports".

    Re: Client Pc to NFS Server

    That says the only exported directories are /export and /export/music. You're trying to mount a directory that isn't being shared via NFS. You'd need to have an entry for /home/bstrizzy/music in the exports file, or perhaps export the entire /home tree,

    You could mount /export/music by replacing /home/bstrizzy/music with /export/music, though I have obviously have no idea whether the files you want are in that directory.

    ok I changed the export name /home/bstrizzy/music which is my server directory and i tried sending it to my desktop directory and did not work.

    bstrawt@panama:~$ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.7:/home/bstrizzy/music/mp3 /home/bstrawt/Music
    mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.1.7:/home/bstrizzy/music/mp3 failed, reason given by server:
    No such file or directory
    bstrawt@panama:~$

    i entered this on my desktop ssh terminal, this is the correct way to do it right?

    Re: Client Pc to NFS Server

    You can only mount directories as they appear in /etc/exports, so remove the /mp3 at the end and try again.

    However you may still run into a permissions problem if you try to mount /home/bstrizzy while logged into the client as /home/bstrawt. You can get around some of these issues by using "no_root_squash" in the options list in /etc/exports and mounting the directory as root with sudo on the client.

    i have updated it to just /exports/music and deleted the mp3 part but for some reason it keeps telling me no such file or directory? I am suppose to do the code on my desktop ubuntu right?

    Re: Client Pc to NFS Server

    Check this:

    - First, you have to bind the real directory on your server with the pseudo directory that you'll export to the client. For example:
    Directory on the server: /home/music
    Directory to export: /export/music
    Binding the directories: mount bind -t /home/music /export/music

    -
    Edit the /etc/exports file. Here is where you write the directory to share with the client.
    Code:
    /export ipclient(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,sync)
                  /export/music ipclient(rw,no_subtree_check,sync,nohide)
    - Edit the /etc/fstab file and add this line, so you do not have to bind the directories every time when you reboot:
    Code:
     /home/music /export/music   none    bind  0  0
    - Now, go to the Client, edit the /etc/default/nfs-common (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto).

    - On the client, mount -t nfs4 IPSERVER:/music /directory/example/client

    CHECK if you have the directory /directory/example/client created.
