Installation and configuration of NFS server

Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol originally developed by Sun Micro systems. It allows your users or client compute to access files over a network. Linux and UNIX like operating systems (including MS-Windows) can mount file system over a network and work as they are mounted locally. This is perfect for sharing files or centralized home directories.
