Performing Basic File Operations Using the ORADNFS Utility

8.7 Performing Basic File Operations Using the ORADNFS Utility

ORADNFS is a utility which enables the database administrators to perform basic file operations over Direct NFS Client on Microsoft Windows platforms.

ORADNFS is a multi-call binary, which is a single binary that acts like many utilities.

You must be a member of the local ORA_DBA group to use ORADNFS. A valid copy of the oranfstab configuration file must be present in Oracle_home\dbs for ORADNFS to operate.

To execute commands using ORADNFS you issue the command as an argument on the command line.
The following command prints a list of commands available with ORADNFS:
```
C:\> oradnfs help
```
To display the list of files in the NFS directory mounted as C:\ORACLE\ORADATA, use the following command:
```
C:\> oradnfs ls C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL
```
