Network File System
Redirected from NFS
Network File System (NFS) is a protocol developed by Sun Microsystems and defined in RFC 1094[?], a network file system which allows a computer to access files over a network as if they were on its local disks. NFS is implemented using a connectionless protocol (UDP) in order to make it stateless.
"Network File System" is also often used as a generic term - see File system for other examples.
