What is NFS?
NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. It is commonly used for sharing files between Unix-like systems, enabling centralized storage and easier collaboration.
