NFS Server enables an NFS client to share directories, files, and devices with other Microsoft Windows and UNIX users connected to the network. The NFS Server runs as a daemon on a Windows 95 system and as a service on a Windows NT system.
The computer running the NFS Server program shares computer resources with other users on the network by "exporting" a folder or a device, such as a CD-ROM drive. Once the resource is exported, a coworker can mount that folder or device and access it from another Windows computer or from a UNIX workstation.
