Sure, just make sure that mod_autoindex is enabled, and then in your Apache config, just make sure your NFS directory is within your apache DocumentRoot (or a proper alias created), and then allow Indexes for wherever you have your NFS path:

<Directory /path/to/nfs/mount>
    Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Cool, thanks for the quick reply, usually i access this drive using "\\IPaddress\shared_vol" in windows so i must figure it out how to mount it first on linux. – Albert Widjaja Nov 3 '10 at 2:01

@Albert - are you sure NFS is enabled on your file server? If you've been accessing it via a UNC path (\\server\share\), then that's using over CIFS, not NFS. – ErikA Nov 3 '10 at 2:22
thanks for the quick reply, it seems that the NFS is not installed in the DNS-323 NAS aplliance. – Albert Widjaja Nov 3 '10 at 3:19
