I am curious about what the difference is between these protocals or services.
I know on windows machines netbios is a service that allows you to file share with other netbios enabled machine. As well as create null session , and do remote rcp calls , start and stop service remotely ,...etc
I know samba is the linux equivalent to netbios which allows a linux based machine to communicate with netbios windows based machines for file sharing....etc
But
What I don't get is what is NFS (network file system)?
Where would you use this instead of samba or netbios?
What is it's purpose?
And what can it do that samba or netbios cann't?
