GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the GNOME desktop, which allows users easy access to remote data via SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, SMB, and local data via Udev integration, OBEX, MTP and others.
The newer X-Terminals (IIs) can boot in different ways, over a NFS mount, a SMB share or plain TFTP.
They run Samba (an SMB daemon), NFS daemon, and FTP daemons which are freely available for those operating systems.
