Chapter 31. The Network Filesystem (NFS)
In This Chapter
NFS, the Network Filesystem, is the UNIX way of performing file sharing. Windows and Mac OS both have their own file-sharing mechanisms, enabling networked computers to access files on remote machines on a LAN as if they were local. NFS provides the same benefits, with a few extra features that other sharing protocols don't have.
This chapter will describe how to configure your FreeBSD machine to operate as an NFS client and/or server, sharing files with other UNIX machines on your LAN or across the Internet.
