SMB protocol introduction-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. Server Message Block (SMB) can be considered as a protocol for shared files/Printers on a LAN, it can provide file system, Print Service or other information for other Windows and Linux machines in the network.
The working principle of SMB is to allow NetBIOS (Win95 network neighbor Communication Protocol) and SMB to run on the TCP/IP communication protocol, netBIOS nameserver is used to enable your Linux machine to be seen in Windows Network neighbors,
Therefore, you can communicate with the Win95/NT host on the network to share files and services.
Microsoft is currently developing a new file and print sharing protocol, CIFS (Common Internet Files System, Common network file Protocol). This protocol supports TCP/IP, DNS, and other protocols, supports file and print sharing on www. In CIFS
The sub-server is actually a DNS name, which consists of the Host Name and domain name. This change is separated from the NetBIOS command structure. Currently, CIFS has not been widely used. Pay attention to SMB and NFS for file sharing between Linux and Win95/NT.
