Network Protocol Overview: NFS
With the 
NFS Service
, a DataSafe NAS can act as a 
Network File System (NFS) server. Users can then 
share files in a mixed environment of computers, 
operating systems, and networks. 
Users on computers running NFS client software can 
gain access to files (called shares) on the DataSafe 
NAS by connecting (mounting) those files to their 
computers. From the viewpoint of the user on a client 
computer, the mounted files are indistinguishable 
from local files.
The 
NFS Service
 uses the Open Network Computing 
remote procedure call (ONC RPC) protocol to 
implement the NFS protocol. The 
NFS Service
