'''Network File System''' ('''NFS''') is a protocol developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] and defined in [[Request for comment|RFC]] 1094, and1813, RFC3010 1813and 3530, 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 [[server message block]] (SMB), a similar protocol, used to implement a network file system under Microsoft Windows.
