NFS mounting on windows

I  know its ugly, but sometimes it is called for.

need to copy 500GB of SAS data from a GPFS filesystem to a windows server.
solution is to mount an NFS share to the linux server which has access to the GPFS filesystem and also to the Windows server.

1. install unix tools on windows: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2391
2. mount the share on windows in the command line prompt:

mount \\server\share\directory Z:

note: this should be done using the non-administrative command line tool,otherwise it will not show up in the explorer.
