Remotely get files out of DFS
Question(s)
Is there a supported (and publicly documented) way of remotely getting
files out of DFS?
Context
DFS is the network distributed file system used by the WIN.MIT.EDU machines (WinAthena).
Solution
There is currently no public documentation. There are various small private efforts.
- There's a "mount the fileshare" option (may require VPN if used from off-campus). See [Connect to DFS from Windows].
- There's "athrun samba dfsclient" (for use from Athena unix machines).
