With the default options you will only have read permissions when mounting an ECS NFS share using the anonymous user. We can give the anonymous user write permissions by changing the UID and GID that it uses to mount the share.

- Open regedit by typing it in the search box end pressing Enter.
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftClientForNFSCurrentVersionDefault.
- Create a new New DWORD (32-bit) Value inside the Default folder named AnonymousUid and assign the UID 0 (or another UID/GID if configured in ECS).
- Create a new New DWORD (32-bit) Value inside the Default folder named AnonymousGid and assign the GID 0 (or another UID/GID if configured in ECS).
- Restart the NFS client from Windows CMD line (nfsadmin client restart) or reboot the machine to apply the changes.
