data sharing

Sharing files between different systems on a network can seem daunting at first, but with tools like NFS (Network File System) and Samba, the process becomes seamless on Linux environments. In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up NFS and Samba on Linux systems, and we’ll cover how to install and configure these services using various package managers including apt, dnf, and zypper. NFS is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network much like local storage is accessed. NFS is particularly effective for centralizing data on a network, allowing multiple users to access shared resources. Samba, on the other hand, is a re-implementation of the SMB networking protocol.
