Hummingbird Exceed also has a module called NFS Maestro that allows you NFS
mount your SGI disks to your PC. They appear as another disk drive in My
Computer. We use it w/windows NT. You can then make shortcuts to you NFS
mounted SGI disks and just click and drag over directories as if it were
another window on you PC.

Malcolm,

The PC-X package Hummingbird Exceed, which Bruker recommends for
running
XWINNMR on Windows NT, has a VERY nice accessory called "FTP for
Windows
Explorer" which makes it very easy to transfer files from the UNIX
box (in
our case, an X-32) to the PC and vice versa. Once you set up an FTP
profile
for the remote computer on your PC, the remote files show up on your
PC in
an Explorer window. You can then just drag and drop files and
directory
trees from the remote computer to your PC or vice versa without
having to
TAR them. Hummingbird's URL is:

Dear fellow users
Is anyone able to help sort out a problem I
have. I
need to be able to connect a file server running Windows NT4 server
to an SG
Indy on an AMX-400. The reason I need this is to be able to download
data
from the AMX to the server for offline data processing. Bruker's
convoluted
data structure precludes using a standard FTP program, so NFS
immediately
comes to mind. The question therefore, is - Is there a suitable NFS
program
that I could buy that would do the job?
I have found one program by Xlink, called Omni-NFS Dual
Gateway
v4.1 - Is this any good, or are there better ones to choose from? Or
alternatively what other transfer methods are available?
What is used by the rest of the Bruker fraternity to keep
meddling
hands off the acquisition instruments?
