What is NFS?
Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984. It allows users to access files on a remote server as if they were located on their local computer. NFS is a client-server protocol, which means that there are two types of computers involved in an NFS network: clients and servers. Clients are the computers that access files on the server, while servers are the computers that store the files.
