Samba allows a UNIX machine to perform client-server -networking for file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows systems -using their native network protocol and to appear as another Windows -system on the network from the perspective of a Windows client. The -Samba suite also includes client tools that allow users to access folders -and printers that Windows systems and Samba servers offer on the network. +Samba provides file and print services for Microsoft Windows clients. +These services may be hosted off any TCP/IP-enabled platform. The +Samba project includes not only an impressive feature set in file and +print serving capabilities, but has been extended to include client +functionality, utilities to ease migration to Samba, tools to aid +interoperability with Microsoft Windows, and administration tools. |
