NFSManager is a small tool for easy access to the NFS features of OS X. As an operating system with a Unix core, OS X is able to support the Network File System (NFS) protocol according to Internet specification RFC 1094. NFS is the accepted industry standard for sharing files between Unix systems.
Although NFS is a built-in component of OS X, users cannot access this feature without special knowledge and use of the command-line. NFSManager solves this problem by providing an easy-to-use Aqua interface for the definition of NFS connections.

Version 4.21:
Note: Now requires OS X 10.11 or later running on a 64-bit Intel processor
With specific network configurations, one of the environment checks performed by NFS Manager could result in an unusually long delay before opening the first control window of the application. Version 4.21 addresses this issue and is only needed by users who experienced this problem More...

Version 4.21:
Note: Now requires OS X 10.11 or later running on a 64-bit Intel processor
With specific network configurations, one of the environment checks performed by NFS Manager could result in an unusually long delay before opening the first control window of the application. Version 4.21 addresses this issue and is only needed by users who experienced this problem with release 4.2.
Added preliminary support for macOS 10.12 Sierra.
Added a workaround for cases where lists of NFS shares presented by the user interface could remain empty for servers with multiple IP addresses due to poor API support of the operating system.
Many small changes to the user interface.
Most links to external information sources in the user interface and online help are now using encrypted HTTPS communication.
Fixed a problem where the first document window could show "(null)" as the computer name and suppress display of automounts from the local directory node if the first active network interface was connected to a network segment where neither Bonjour nor other DNS services were enabled.
Fixed a problem with the product activation feature for orders that used specific Asian characters with combining marks did not work as expected.
Added new feature to quickly access recent servers in the panel for static mounts.
Added preference setting to enable automatic notification for software updates of the application.
Added new registration features for licensing with immediate gratification and volume licensing.
The DNS environment check during the first launch of the application has been removed because most users with network configuration problems don’t have the background knowledge to understand the error description.
A modified version of the DNS confidence check can now be accessed via the configuration menu.
The interface for the selection of mount points has been optimized for unexperienced users.
Web communication during software update checks is now fully compliant with Apple’s new App Transport Security guidelines.
The overview table reflecting the actual NFS shares hosted on the local machine no longer uses OS X’s main host name to determine current status, but the preferred name of the primary network interface. This avoids unexpected delays on systems with multi-homed configuration or fake /etc/host entries.
Added support for OS X 10.11 El Capitan. This is now the minimum OS version to run release 4 of NFS Manager.
The application was revised completely to use the latest Apple technologies.
The user interface was carefully modernized, keeping the overall style of previous versions.
Importing configuration files of NFS Manager 2 (Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and previous versions) is no longer supported.
