(I think this is the right place - if not please move)

OK, I have NFS shares setup on my HP-UX server. I also have Win 2008 R2 server accessing those shares via the mount command, eg

mount -o mtype=hard -o anon hpserver://share/bernie v:

When copying / creating text files on v: on the windows server - the file is being created on the share as a DOS ascii file. I would like to actually have the NFS client translate the file to create a UNIX ascii file (only a LF).

I cannot see any options in the mount command that would do a DOS to UNIX translation.

I used to use a client called Omni-NFS and that had a tick box to enable DOS to UNIX conversion.

Can this be done using the windows 2008 NFS functionality or will I have to go and install some 3rd party NFS client.

Please help :)

TIA

Maybe try sharing a folder on the win2k8 box and accessing it from the HP-UX box. (as opposed to accessing the HP-UX box from the Win2K8 server via the "mount" command)

Thanks fro the reply, there is an application that runs on the win 2008 box and deposits files on the HP box for another application to use, so cant do this.

I have written a script that will do the conversion for me in the mean time - not ideal - but it works :)
