Network File System

Network File System
   Abbreviated NFS. A distributed file-sharing system developed well over a decade ago by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
   NFS allows a computer on a network to use the files and peripheral devices of another networked computer as if they were local, subject to certain security restrictions. Using NFS, you can share files on your system with other computers running MS-DOS, MacOS, Unix, Novell NetWare, VMS, and many other operating systems, in both local and global environments.
   NFS is platform-independent and runs on mainframes, minicomputers, RISC-based workstations, diskless workstations, and personal computers. NFS has been licensed and implemented by more than 300 vendors.
