Network File System (NFS)
A client/server application that gives all network users access to shared files stored on
computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared files through an interface
called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs on top of TCP/IP. Users can manipulate
shared files as if they were stored on local disk. With NFS, computers connected to a
network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers while providing
remote users access to local shared files. The NFS standards are publicly available and
widely used.
