Files? Rsync seems to be popular on UNIX (-like) systems.

I know nothing, but what does rsync have to do with NFS?

There are two different ways for rsync to contact a remote system: using
a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or
contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP. The remote-shell transport
is used whenever the source or destination path contains a
single colon ( separator after a host specification. Contacting an
rsync daemon directly happens when the source or destination path
contains a double colon (: separator after a host specification, OR
when an rsync:// URL is specified (see also the "USING
RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION" section for an
exception to this latter rule).

I search in vain for any reference to NFS.
