10. Distributed Filesystems

Distributed filesystems are designed to share files between separate machines via a network connection of some sort. Their design is significantly different than stored filesystems (see section 8. Stored Filesystems): they need to deal with the problems of network delays and failures, and may require complex authentication and replication protocols involving multiple file servers.

10.1 File Transfer Protocol  A distributed filesystem based on FTP.
10.2 Network File System  Sun's NFS: a lousy, but common filesystem.
