### 4.9 nfs

The `nfs` scheme, defined in RFC 2224, is similar to `ftp` except that it points to a file on a remote host that is handled by an NFS automounter on the local host. Such URLs have the form

    nfs://user:password@host:port/file

Variable: url-nfs-automounter-directory-spec

A string saying how to invoke the NFS automounter. Certain ‘`%`’ sequences are recognized:

‘`%h`’

  The hostname of the NFS server;

‘`%n`’

  The port number of the NFS server;

‘`%u`’

  The username to use to authenticate;

‘`%p`’

  The password to use to authenticate;

‘`%f`’

  The filename on the remote server;

‘`%%`’

  A literal ‘`%`’.

Each can be used any number of times.
