'''Network File System''' ('''NFS''') is a protocol developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] and defined in [[RFCRequest 1094for comment|RFC]] 1094 and [[RFC 1813]], a [[network file system]] which allows a [[computer]] to access files over a network as if they were on its local disks.

NFS is strongly associated with UNIX systems, with [[SMB]], a similar protocol, used to implement a network file system under Microsoft Windows.
