Samba is software suite with open source. It runs on Linux OS and Unix/Linux based platforms. It is a reimplementation of the Common Internet File System (CIFS) and the more central Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It is the standard Windows interoperability suite, which means that the software is able to communicate the programs of Linux to the Windows clients just like a native application.
