Cannot access NFS shares by URL

Hello everybody

I can successfully mount nfs shares from my homeserver and then I can browse for them on the client PC using my file manager (PCManFM).
I use this command:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.10:/srv/nfs4/video /mnt/video

and it works.

But I cannot access my nfs shares by using address bar of my file manager. For example:

nfs://192.168.1.10/srv/nfs4/video.

All I got is a message box: "The specified location is not supported".

Re: Cannot access NFS shares by URL

Which normally means your file manager does not understand the NFS protocol directly.

May I ask why you try to do this when you could just as easily browse /mnt/video?

You can define network shares to be mounted in fstab just like a regular local partition.

Re: Cannot access NFS shares by URL

Did you ever solve this?

I too was hoping to mount nfs shares directly from PCManFM as well, but no luck. I found using autofs kind of messy.

Thanks,
