Line 1: '''Network File System''' ('''NFS''') is a protocol developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] and defined in [[RFC 1094]], a [[network file system]] which allows a [[computer]] to access files over a network as if they were on its local disks. NFS is implemented using a connectionless protocol ([[UDP]]) in order to make it stateless. NFS is strongly associated with UNIX systems, with [[SMB]], a similar protocol, used to implement a network file system under Microsoft Windows. "Network File System" is also often used as a generic term - see [[File system]] for other examples.
