NFS (Network File System)

Network File System (NFS) is a protocol that allows computers to share files over a network, enabling users to access files on remote machines as if they were on their local system. Developed in the 1980s, it enables different operating systems to communicate and share resources easily. Users can open, read, and edit files stored on another computer, making collaboration and data management more efficient. NFS is widely used in various environments, including businesses and data centers, to streamline file sharing and access among multiple users and devices.
