I think you've picked up a misconception of how all this works somewhere. Do not attempt to use RADOS directly for normal use cases. Use one of CephFS, RBD or RGW. These all have their own ways for you to connect from client machines to access stored data. For example, with CephFS you simply mount the filesystem on the client and access files within your mount point, just like a NFS mount.
