'''Network File System''' ('''NFS''') is a [[distributed file system]] protocol originally developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] (Sun) in 1984,<ref name="sun85">{{cite conference |url=https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs6411/2018sp/papers/nfs.pdf|title=Design and Implementation of the Sun Network Filesystem |date=June 11–14, 1985 |author1=Russel Sandberg |author2=David Goldberg |author3=Steve Kleiman |author4=Dan Walsh |author5=Bob Lyon |___location=Portland, Oregon USA|conference=Usenix Association Summer Conference|citeseerx = 10.1.1.14.473}}</ref> 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. After the first experimental version developed in house at Sun Microsystems, all subsequent versions of the protocol are defined in a series of [[Request for Comments]] (RFC)i.e. RFCs, allowing anyone to implement the protocol.
