HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

Moving or Reusing a Shared Directory
If you rename an NFS-mounted directory, NFS clients must unmount and remount the
imported directory before they can see the new contents.
For example, if a server is sharing /opt/myapp, and you move /opt/myapp to /opt/
myapp.old then rebuild and repopulate /opt/myapp, all the NFS clients must unmount
and remount the directory, for example (as superuser on each client):
# umount /opt/myapp
# mount -a
Any client on which this is not done will continue to see the former contents of /opt/
myapp, that is /opt/myapp.old.
You can encounter the same problem in a slightly different way when you reuse an
LVM volume.
For example, suppose you unmount an obsolete file system named /projects from
a file server named fp_server, and subsequently reuse the logical volume, mounting
a file system /newprojects on it.
Any client that fails to unmount /projects will see the contents of fp_server:/
newprojects, labeled /projects.
Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a mechanism for copying files from one system to another.
These sections provide configuration procedures and troubleshooting information.
Configuring Anonymous FTP
Anonymous FTP allows users who do not have an account on a given system to send
files to, and retrieve them from, that system.
Configuring Anonymous FTP with Text-Based HP SMH
1. Log in to the server as superuser.
2. Start HP SMH; see “Starting Text-Based HP SMH” (page 30).
3. Navigate to Network Services.
a. Press n, Networking and Communications.
b. Press s, Network Services Configuration.
c. Press k, Network Services.
4. Highlight Anonymous FTP.
5. Press Tab A to pull down the Actions menu.
