2. open subfolder on nfs share with a lot of folders

Hi, just want to know how did you mount the folder?

Did you insert it in /etc/fstab or did you mount it from Dolphin?

the nfs share is in  /etc/fstab with "user" option. by clicking on the network share in dolphin the share gets mounted
i also use sshfs which i mount from cmdline and access the mounted folders with dolphin
