NFS is very different to the Windows SMB resource sharing technology. Accessing Linux based resources from a Windows system is covered in the [[Sharing Ubuntu Linux Folders with Remote Windows Systems]] chapter of this book. In this chapter we will be looking at network based sharing of folders between Linux based systems.
== Installing the NFS File Sharing Services on Ubuntu Linux ==
The services required to enable file system and folder sharing are not installed by default on the desktop edition of Ubuntu Linux. They can easily be installed, however, and are installed when an attempt is first made to share folders.
