| - | NFS (Network File System) is the native unix/linux method for sharing file systems. In this respect its function is similar to samba. The most popuplar version is still NFSv3 which is able to use either UDP or TCP as the network protocol. The older NFSv2 was only capable of using UDP. On a local LAN, UDP is still the fastest protocol; TCP is to be preferred when the machines are connected over a WAN. | + | NFS (Network File System) is the native unix/linux method for sharing file systems.
