Username and pwd for FileAdapter with NFS as transport protocol

Question

Hi,
we installed PI 7.1 in windows env.
to access a particular target location manually from the PI windows server, the procedure is:
in the Start->Run or in the explorer bar we type the ip as "
121.1.2.3\SourceFolder", then the windows asks for the username and pwd, once we enter valid username/pwd, we get the access to the "
121.1.2.3\SourceFolder".
to poll the files under this folder, we setup a FileAdapter Communication Channel with TransportProtocol=NFS. (so its not FTP).
In the "File access Parameters" section, in the "source directory" value we entered as "
121.1.2.3\SourceFolder"
but where can we provide the username and password that would be required to access this folder.
when we activated the CC, in the RWB, we see log as:
Configured source directory '
121.1.2.3\SourceFolder' does not exist
thanks.

So the folder does not exits in your XI installed server. It will be there in some other Server location.If am correct then NFS protocol not work for this. you should required FTP for accessing the external server path. NFS protocol used to access the local XI machine path only.
