Three choices:-

Do you mean NFS share to another unix server? You can browse /etc/exports to see what you are sharing. A mount statement on the client would be something like:-
Code:
```
mount -t nfs hostname:/shared/directory /local/mountpoint
```
Do you mean a Samba share to mount with a Windows client?
If you fire up a browser like this, then you may get a management GUI where you can explore:-
Code:
```
http://hostname:901
```
You will need to put in the root password.

CAUTION - you will be able to edit the configuration very easily, so mistakes are easy.
The configuration file is likely to be similar to /opt/freeware/samba/version/etc/smb.conf
Find it and copy it away securely before you start.
.
Not sure what else you might mean.

Do any of these help? If it's the 3rd option, can you explain a little more of what you are trying to achieve please.

Name
       nfs - Network File System

Description
       The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in

       NFS  provides  support  for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment.  The system administrator for a
       file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export  list.
       The  administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
       ing client machine.  A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine.  Once
       imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
