Disk Access Lite Description

Disk Access Lite is a handy utility that helps you integrate your Windows OS-based computer into multi-vendor networks in order to access NFS-compatible files and UNIX resources. It allows you to use your Windows-running machine as a Network File System(NFS) server. The application gives you the possibility to access NFS files, which are UNIX specific.By mounting NFS server files to their systems, Windows OS computers can access them, as those files are treated as if they are on the client. Disk Access Lite is able to do all of this by using the Remote Procedure Call(RPC) protocol, a NFS-based algorithm that makes RPCs appear as a local process. With the help of other protocols, such as the External Data Representation(XDR), the application ensures portable data transmission, that usually takes place between a server and a client. Because of its nature, the application can be customized in order to fit to the needs of various programs. The program enables you to connect to a NFS server and manage the files and resources found there. Furthermore, by using tools such as Windows Explorer, Network Neighborhood or File Manager, you have the possibility to browse and utilize files or resources that are located on UNIX, Linux or other NFS-based systems. Disk Access Lite supports a multitude of Windows OS versions, as it offers additional features for older ones, such as Windows NT, 2000 and XP. For instance, the Packet-Smart utility helps you tune up NFS packet transmissions in order to achieve optimal network performance. Additionally, the application offers support for multipart pathing for UNC mounts, object linking and embedding and PCNFSD printing. With the help of this program, you can easily manage NFS-based files and resources from your Windows OS-running machine, by mounting it to a NFS dedicated server.
