Ive got a CentOS (2.6.9-42) 4 server running.
I am trying to connect to it, via nfs, from my laptop, which runs FC6 (2.6.19-2)

I have an entry in /etc/exports on the server, similar to:
/var/www 11.22.33.44(rw)

the 11.22.33.44 is of course my laptop's actual IP address.

NFS, and all of its dependant services are running on the server.

I can mount the share using:
mount 11.22.44.33:/var/www ./mountpoint

again, 11.22.44.33 is the IP of the server, ./mountpoint is a directory created as a mount point on the laptop.

The share mounts, i can read files, i can modify files, but when i try to create, or delete files, i am given a "permission denied" error.

I wasnt aware that create and delete permissions even existed in NFS, and all of my google searching seems to tell me that they dont.

So what could the issue be? I just want to be able to easily copy files/folders from my laptop (where i do most of my development) to my web server. Is that so much to ask?

Thanks!

You are probably confusing NTFS and NFS. For NTFS the permission things are not limited. NFS does require permissions. Here is my line from fstab:

192.168.1.102:/home/fred /media/admin nfs noauto,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,user 0 0


Hope this helps

Nope, definately talking about nfs.....

i did try to modify my fstab entry though, to see if your example helped me at all.
its currently
1.1.1.1:/var/www/ /mnt/mountpoint nfs rsize=32768,wsize=32768,user 0 0

No better
I can modify files, but i cnanot delete or create them.

Thanks.
