NFS

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems (Sun), available in Linux (linux), allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) system. NFS is an open IETF standard defined in a Request for Comments (RFC), allowing anyone to implement the protocol.
