Chapter 8 Sharing Screens

8.4.4 DFS

Distributed File System (DFS) is a network server component that makes it easier for you to
find and manage data on your network. Through DFS, you can build a single hierarchical file
system whose contents are distributed throughout your organization's network. It permits
shares to be hierarchically connected to other Windows shares. Since DFS is a logical
mapping, the physical location of data becomes transparent to your users and applications.
You can use DFS links when accessing the NSA using CIFS, not FTP.
