Hi,

NFS is used when your XI can access the file location directly using the NFS protocol.

When the File System can be access using FTP protocol, then you need to use FTP and provide the FTP server details and user crendentials to pull data from the File Server.

Hi,

I have as yet been unable to access shared folder using NFS in XI file adapter, so I have always used FTP in such cases.

Is it possible to access shared network folders from XI NFS Adapter?

Hi,

NFS (network file system) e.g. //host/directory1/dir2/file.txt

FTP (file transfer protocol) here you are getting data from ftp server or you are writing to FTP server.
