Mount ftp with nfs using username and password?


Trying to mount to an ftp using nfs and the ftp requires a username and password. Right now I have:

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/ /mnt/ftp

How do I incorporate a username and password into that?

Thanks in advance for any reply!

There are no username and password options for nfs mounts. Per the mount man-page:
Code:
Mount options for nfs
       Instead of a textual option string, parsed by the kernel, the nfs file
       system expects a binary argument of type struct  nfs_mount_data.   The
       program  mount  itself  parses  the  following  options  of  the  form
       ‘tag=value’, and  puts  them  in  the  structure  mentioned:  rsize=n,      wsize=n,   timeo=n,  retrans=n,  acregmin=n,  acregmax=n,  acdirmin=n,
       acdirmax=n, actimeo=n, retry=n, port=n,  mountport=n,  mounthost=name,
       mountprog=n,  mountvers=n, nfsprog=n, nfsvers=n, namlen=n.  The option
       addr=n is accepted but ignored.  Also the following  Boolean  options,
       possibly  preceded  by  no  are  recognized: bg, fg, soft, hard, intr,
       posix, cto, ac, tcp, udp, lock.  For details, see nfs(5).
You will probably have to write a wrapper in order to do this via NFS.
