ethersrv-linux8

Ethernet dos filesystem server

Usage

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

Overview

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.

Releases

Unchanged in 3 releases since Debian 11 (Bullseye).
