What is the problem of linux using nfs to realize file sharing?

there is a server whose IP is 10.99.40.xxx, which is used to deploy the project, and a server with an IP of 10.99.1.x, which is used to store video images.
if I want to access the server where the video images are stored on the project server. Should both servers install nfs services for file sharing?

now I only have the nfs service installed on the server (client) where IP is 10.99.40.xxx

now do I also need to install the nfs service on the server (server) with IP 10.99.1.x?

because I can"t install things on the server where video pictures are stored, this is the server of other departments
can anyone tell me about it?


first of all, it needs to be clear that nfs, as a network service, is a client-side and server-side

.

so, if you want 10.99.40.xxx to access the resources above 10.99.1.x through nfs, you must install nfs server, on 10.99.1.x and nfs client on 10.99.40.xxx.

you can think about it: if a server does not provide services, you will not be able to access the server's resources if you install anything on the client

if sharing video resources is a requirement of your project, you should ask the department to add nfs services for you
