How To Mount NFS Network Share With Username & Password

[mechanism]

I have a network share that is mounted as directed by my /etc/fstab file and I can read from it with no problem. However, that particular share is password protected so I only have read access. I need read and write access. So, I Googled around and found what I thought were the correct instructions on mounting with a username and password but the instructions were written for samba - does that matter?

Here is the line I added to my /etc/fstab file.
192.168.1.200:/shares/Volume1/SavedFiles /mnt/mediavault/SavedFiles nfs username=SavedFiles,password=apples411 0 0
I then typed "mount -a" in console and received this message:
mount.nfs: Bad nfs mount parameter: username

What did I do wrong?

Of course that metters. Samba isn't even similar to NFS.
i think u have to give permission to read/write to the "SavedFiles" folder on the server machine for all users (group and others)..
Configure the /etc/exports file (i think u did it) on the server machine.

/shares/Volume1/SavedFiles *(rw,no_root_squash,async)

u dont need to send anothers params.
good look
