System V Network Filesystem

The System V Network Filesystem (NFS) is a protocol that allows computers to share files over a network as if they were stored locally. It enables users to access and manage remote files seamlessly, simplifying resource sharing in multi-computer environments. Developed as part of UNIX System V, NFS works by mounting remote directories onto a local system, providing transparency. This setup improves collaboration, centralizes data management, and reduces duplication, making it easier for multiple users or systems to work with common files efficiently and securely over networks.
