What is Distributed file system (DFS)
Using a computer network, clients can access file storage from multiple hosts using a distributed file system (DFS), just as if they were accessing local storage. Users can share data and storage resources since files are distributed among several storage servers and locations. Spread across multiple users, including remote employees and distributed teams, may view and exchange files remotely just as if they were stored locally with the use of a DFS.
Benefits of DFS
Location independence.
Transparency.
Scalability.
High availability.
Security.
How to Find Any DFS Path
When you access a file or folder this way, you are probably accessing it using an easy-to-remember share name or via a mapped network drive that is local to your Windows login. Luckily, there is a simple way to find out the absolute path of a file or folder on the particular DFS server when you do not know it.
- Browse to the file or folder on your local machine you want to determine the DFS path for.
- Right-Click on the file or folder and choose properties.
- Select the DFS tab. You will see a referral list along with the full path name (server and DFS share name) for where the file or folder resides!
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with some other stuff. Have a nice day !!!
