NAME

  dxfileshare - Exports local directories and mounts directories from the
  network


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/bin/X11/dxfileshare


DESCRIPTION

  Use the File Sharing application, dxfileshare, to:

    ·  Export (or share) local UNIX directories to the network

    ·  Stop exporting UNIX local directories to the network

    ·  Specify which directories mounted from the network are to be remounted
       every time the system is rebooted, that is, add an entry to the
       /etc/fstab file

    ·  Add, change, or delete NFS entries from the /etc/exports file

    ·  Share local UNIX directories with a personal computer (PC) when
       Advanced Server for UNIX is installed on your system

    ·  Display local directories that are shared (exported) with the network

    ·  Display network mounts (directories that can be mounted from the
       network)

  The File Sharing application can also be invoked from the CDE Application
  Manager from the following categories:

  Application Group:	   System_Admin
  System Admin Subgroup:   Daily Admin

  Online help is available for the File Sharing application by clicking on
  any Help button or using the Help pull-down menu.
