SMB / Server Message Block for Not Yet Techies

"Computer Careers: With This Protocol for Formatting Messages Passing Along Networks"

by Richard Stooker, President Info Ring Press and author of Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career

SMB / Server Message Block protocol sits above NetBIOS and NetBEUI and defines and forcibly formats commands for messages passing between computers. It enables client applications in a computer to read and write to files from server programs on a network. SMB / Server Message Block can also be used on top of TCP/IP and IPX / Internetwork Packet Exchange.

SMB / Server Message Block can enable a user on a network to access files and other resources on a remote server. It can communicate with any server set up to receive such a client request. This basically means that you can work with network resources as you would your own personal computer.

Samba is a shareware program enabling Unix servers to support SMB / Server Message Block

Microsoft products have supported this technology since Windows 95, since MS developed it.

They offer a public / open source version of SMB / Server Message Block called the CIFS / Common Internet File System.
