Description

Samba is a network file sharing application for Linux/Unix and Windows operating systems, allowing users to access and share files, printers, and other network resources. It is based on the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, a protocol for providing shared access to files and printers. Samba provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to access and manage shared resources such as files, folders, printers, and applications. It also supports the Windows Active Directory (AD) and provides a secure way to connect Windows workstations and servers to a Linux-based network. Samba can be used to set up a file and print server, which is a computer that provides file and printer sharing services to client computers on a network. It can also be used to set up a domain controller, which is a computer that authenticates users and controls access to resources on the network. Samba is an open-source software, which means that anyone can access the source code and make modifications to the program.
