	'''Network File System''', or '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28protocol%29 NFS]''', is a way to share folders over a network. The main benefits of using NFS instead of SMB are its low protocol overhead (which allows it to send data across a network more quickly) and its use of simple [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_identifier UID's] to authenticate users rather than username/password combinations. This part bears repeating, as many people are confused on this point and try to create usernames and passwords to get MrMC to work with NFS: '''NFS does not use usernames or passwords as logins;''' it uses a UNIX-based "userID" (UID) alone.~~<section end="intro"/>~~		'''Network File System''', or '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28protocol%29 NFS]''', is a way to share folders over a network.

	NFS's main disadvantage in comparison to SMB (a commonly-encountered protocol in Windows environments) is that it can be more complicated to set up in some cases, since many non-technical users are unfamiliar with configuring UNIX-based protocols.

	When configuring NFS shares to use as network sources for MrMC's music/video libraries, use the following format: '''nfs://1.2.3.4/path/to/folder''' (where "1.2.3.4" should be replaced with the IP of your NFS server, and "/path/to/folder" should be replaced with the path to the folder you want to share; a double slash between the server and the path is wrong, you '''should not''' use nfs://1.2.3.4//path/to/folder).
