In this article i will show how to share folder in Solaris and use this folder for Copy/Paste in windows , I will use NFS so you need to make sure it’s already enable in Windows

  • Select Control Panel.
  • Select Programs.
  • Select Programs and Features.
  • Select Turn Windows Features on or off.
  • Select Services for NFS.
  • Select the check box Client for NFS and click OK.
Now On Solaris Side , Using Share command 

share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d “”] [resource]

Create Folder and use the below command to share 

share -F nfs -o rw -d “codereview dirs” /u01/Shared –> my Shared Folder



root@Host:/u01# cat /etc/dfs/sharetab 

/u01/hmmdb u01_hmmdb nfs sec=sys,rw codereview
/u01/Shared u01_Shared nfs sec=sys,rw

Now back to windows open Command Prompt “cmd”
and run the below command :
showmount -e Server-IP 

Exports list on :
/u01/Shared                        All Machines
/u01/hmmdb                         All Machines

Command to share on windows :

mount -o mtype=hard server-ip:/u01/Shared Z:
Done
