| | Network File System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Network File System (NFS) is a protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984 and defined in RFCs 1094, 1813, and 3530 (obsoletes 3010), as a distributed file system which allows a computer to access files over a network as easily as if they were on its local disks. | | | The term "network file system" is also often used as a generic term — see file system for other examples. | | | NFS and ONC were prominent in the network computing war between Sun Microsystems and Apollo Computer, and later the UNIX wars between ATandT and Sun on one side, and Digital Equipment, HP, and IBM on the other. |

| | Define Network File System - a Whatis.com definition - see also: NFS |
| | The Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that lets a computer user view and optionally store and update file on a remote computer as though they were on the user's own computer. | | | Using NFS, the user or a system administrator can mount all or a portion of a file system (which is a portion of the hierarchical tree in any file directory and subdirectory, including the one you find on your PC or Mac). | | | The user's system needs to have an NFS client and the other computer needs the NFS server. |

| | Connected: An Internet Encyclopedia - NFS Protocol Overview |
| | For example, NFS has no operation to open a file, since this would require the server to store state information (that a file is open; what its file descriptor is; the next byte to read; etc). | | | The Network File System (NFS), developed by Sun Microsystems, is the de facto standard for file sharing among UN*X hosts. | | | The client's operating system must maintain the required state information, and translate system calls into stateless NFS operations. |
