==== Access Your Data ====
This document explains methods to access the data on your account from home or some other remote computer by directly accessing the data on an exported share on a file server. File Transfer solutions are treated in https://computing.ee.ethz.ch/RemoteAccess#File_Transfer. <<BR>><<BR>>
The filesystem of the remote host gets attached to the local host such that it appears as a normal filesystem and can be accessed directly from every application. Our linux file servers and NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices export the shares with two different protocols:
 * '''NFS''' (Network Files System) shares
 * '''SMB/CIFS''' (Server Message Block/Common Internet File system) shares
'''NFS''' is the file sharing protocol of the Unix/Linux world, '''SMB/CIFS''' that of the windows world. The software suite '''samba''' is a software for Unix/Linux file servers to act as a windows files server.<<BR>><<BR>>
Because NFS cann't be used from outside the managed linux client environment the following chapters two topics only deals with the SMB/CIFS access to data shares on file servers:
 * [[Services/FileAccess/FileSystemAccess1|SMB/CIFS access from selfmanaged linux clients]]
 * [[Services/FileAccess/FileSystemAccess|SMB/CIFS access from selfmanaged windows clients]]
