6.7: What is NFS?

(From the Sun NFS documentation:) NFS is a network file system developed
by Sun Microsystems, Inc. The Sun Network Filesystem (NFS) protocol
provides transparent remote access to shared filesystems over local area
networks. The NFS protocol is designed to be machine, operating system,
network architecture, and transport protocol independent. 
For a detailed description of NFS, consult a TCP/IP book. 
The NFS Client by Carsten Heyl is included info the AmiTCP distribution.
See the ch_nfs documentation in AmiTCP:help. 
There is also an Amiga to Amiga NetFS implemetation that is included with
AmiTCP. This is NOT NFS but lets the Amiga share other Amiga's Disk
Drives.
