# ethersrv-linux(8)

Ethernet DOS Filesystem server

## NAME

ethersrv-linux - Ethernet DOS Filesystem server

## SYNOPSIS

**ethersrv-linux** \[**-f**\] *iface* *directory* \[*directory*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**ethersrv-linux** serves the named *directories* over the interface *iface*.

The first exported directory will be mapped to C:, the second to D:, etc.

## OPTIONS

- **-f**

  stay in the foreground (do not daemonize the process).

## NOTES

**ethersrv-linux** needs the **CAP\_NEW\_RAW** system capability, which usually means that it needs to be run as root.

The exported directories *should* reside on FAT filesystems; this ensures that FAT attributes and mixed-case filenames are handled correctly, and that '.' and '..' appear in the expected order.

## AUTHORS

**ethersrv-linux** was written by Mateusz Viste. This manual page was adapted from the provided documentation by Stephen Kitt, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but it may be used by others).
