In order to mount an NFS share as a client, you need essentially two things:
How do you find this stuff out?
This assumes you don't know what the share paths are. If you already know, skip down to "Connecting"
Using my own personal Synology Diskstation as an example, I have shared two directories via NFS. It's DNS name is diskstation.home. Its IP address is 192.168.1.50 (not really, but it is for the sake of this example)
Launch the Terminal App.
At the prompt, type the following command:
In my example, the following is displayed:
Ok...so now I know what the two "share paths" are. It's time to connect.
Connecting
Let's use finder:
Press CommandK to bring up the "Connect to Server" Dialog Box.
In the "Server Address" box, type enter the values in the format:
So, going back to my example, I would type:
You should now be able to browse your network share.
