to get in a interactive dialog with the fileserver, you can run: con -Cl /srv/cwfs.cmd to leave this dialog, enter <Ctrl>+\<enter> and on cons >>> prompt, type q the fileserver console commands for cwfs are described in fs(8). note, this is for the cwfs fileserver. the standard labs plan9 uses a the fossil fileserver which has different set of commands and uses /srv/fscons command file by convention. please take your time. read nemos book, the manuals and the the wiki. do some exploration before you want to setup everything to your liking. this is the 2nd step before the first. -- cinap
