rfsPlugin does not work

I followed the steps in the readme.txt of the bonus\rfsPlugin. Had some
troubles to follow the steps. What have I done:

1: created a designtime & runtime package -> rfsPlugin.bpl. It includes the
files: psRFSClient.pas, psRFSCommon.pas and psRFSPlugin.pas. (only those
units? I was not to sure which files were meant in the readme.txt by
''Create a package that consists of all the RFS units")

2: Placed NexusDB206sd100 (this was not mentioned in the readme.txt but
otherwise I got a complaint from the system and I found this solution
somewhere googling) in the requires list in order to be able to compile and
installed the package so the components became available in IDE.

3: Opened the nxServer.bdsproj in de NexusDB2\Server folder. Tried to find
the dmServer form. Could not locate it in the project manager ??? However I
could open the nxServerForm with the shortcut menu option: 'Open file at
cursor'. I could place the RFSPluginCmdHandler and ServerFRSPlugin on the
form. However I could not set the EventLog and CommandHandler properties.
There were no choices for those in de object inspector. I left them blanc
hoping they are not of importance.

4: I setup the clientapplication. With transport and session I was already
using (not a Simple session but a Session connected to a
RemoteServerEngine). I Connected the RFSPlugin and tried the first example.
The outstream didn't contain any data. So I tested a FileExists and it did
not return DBIERR_none it returns 15522 ??

When I look at the Plugin section of the Server I only have a
ServerInfoPlugin. Not the RFSPlugin. I sort of expected it there.

What can I do to make the rfsPlugin work as supposed to?

Wina Jansen.

Solved problem myself!
I found out that step 4 wasn't allright. I placed the 2 components on the
dmServer. This should have been the nxdmServer.
Now the plug-in shows in the server and can be activated.
