NFS

From Linuxhelp Wiki

coacelc4t NFS stands for Network File System which is a protocol for a file system that allows a computer to access it on a network. It was originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984.

Older versions of the NFS protocol used UDP for transport which meant that most daemons included a lot of error checking because of the nature of UDP packets. Version 3 of the NFS protocol introduced TCP transporting which meant more reliable transmissions, however, they weren't as efficient. NFS is available for most operating systems including UNIX, Macintosh, Windows and Linux.
