Description

Linux Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network much like they would if the files were on their local hard drive. It is based on the Client/Server model, where the server provides the resources, such as disk storage and file access, to the clients. It is available on Linux, Unix, Windows, and MacOS platforms. NFS allows multiple users to access shared files and folders on a network without requiring the user to have a separate login for each machine. It also allows the sharing of files across multiple operating systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, and MacOS). By using NFS, users can access shared files from any computer on the network, no matter what operating system is being used. NFS is a powerful tool for sharing files and folders across a network, allowing organizations to more easily collaborate on projects and make data more accessible.
