![]() NFS is commonly found on all Linux/UNIX distributions, as well as on OS X and Solaris, and offers several features: 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. This part bears repeating, as many people are confused on this point and try to create usernames and passwords to get Kodi to work with NFS: NFS does not use usernames or passwords as logins it uses a UNIX-based "userID" (UID) alone. ![]() 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 UID's to authenticate users rather than username/password combinations. Network File System, or NFS, is a way to share folders over a network, and was added to XBMC in v11 (Eden).
