chexport

Use the chexport command to change the protocol configuration for an export.

An export is a shared disk space that is accessible through the protocols that you specify when you run the mkexport command. You can create exports and enable them for HTTP, FTP, Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), Network File System (NFS), and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols. You must have Administrator authority to use this command.
