The Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system that allows users to access files and directories of remote servers as if they were local. For example, the user can use operating systems commands to create, remove, read, write, and set file attributes for remote files and directories. NFS is independent of machine types, operating systems, and network architectures through the use of remote procedure calls (RPC).
