Samba

The Samaba service is a set of protocols used to connect to the Microsoft OS based systems. Samba interacts with Microsoft st=ystems so well that Microsoft clients cannot tell the difference between other Microsoft systems or Linux Samba systems.

Microsoft CIFS and SMB

The Common Internet File System was developed by Microsoft in the 1980s. It is based on the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, which was developed as a way to share files and printers over a network.

NetBIOS

SMB network communication over Microsoft based networks is also know as the Network Based Input/Output System (NetBIOS) over TCP/IP.
