What is the NFS?

NFS stands for Network File System, and it’s a way for computers to share files with each other over a network, like a big team working together. Imagine you and your friends are working on a school project, and each of you has a piece of the puzzle. Instead of meeting in person to exchange papers, you all put your pieces in a shared folder on the internet. That’s kind of how NFS works!

With NFS, one computer can store files, and other computers connected to the same network can access and use those files as if they were on their own hard drives. This is super helpful in offices or schools where many people need to access the same files, like documents, pictures, or even programs.

NFS makes sharing easy because it allows everyone to work together without having to copy files back and forth. It’s like having a common shelf where everyone can reach and use what they need, making teamwork smoother and faster.
