Scan Unix-systems

Question / Problem

Can I scan my Linux/Unix servers or my Linux based NAS with TreeSize?

Answer / Solution

TreeSize can scan Linux/Unix servers using the SSH protocol (see "Scan Targets"). Alternatively, if Samba is installed and running on the Linux/Unix system, our tools can access a share on this system using its UNC name, e.g. \\ComputerName\ShareName.


If the file system on the Linux/Unix system is accessible through NFS, then it can be accessed if the NFS support for Windows is installed. For Windows 7 and higher (Professional / Enterprise Edition), please go to the Control Panel and activate the "Services for NFS" under "Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off".
Then you can mount an NFS share to a drive letter using this command:
mount \\ComputerName\ShareName N:

It might be necessary to create the following registry values if you have trouble connecting the NFS drive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default\AnonymousUidas DWORD with the decimal value 10011.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default\AnonymousGidas DWORD with the decimal value 10012.
