Server for NFS
With Server for NFS, a computer running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system
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 directories (called shares) on the NFS server by connecting (mounting) those directories
to their computers. From the viewpoint of the user on a client computer, the mounted files are
indistinguishable from local files.
