Best Answer

The samba software package implements the netbios protocol which is used by Microsoft Windows Lan Manager under TCP/IP to share files. Samba is open software and available free for non-windows platforms such as linux, unix and OpenVMS. Properly configuring samba makes Unix folders appear as shared folders on a Windows system.

What are the shared folders in Windows?

Shared folder permissions are used to restrict access to a folder or file that is shared over the network. Folder sharing is normally used to grant remote users access to file and folders over the network. Web sharing is used to grant remote users access to files from the Web if Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed.When folders are shared, it is important to keep in mind that you can share folders only, and not files. For users that are locally logged on to a computer, shared folder permissions are irrelevant. Shared folders that are moved are no longer shared. When shared folders are copied, the copy is not shared. The original shared folder however remains shared.A few disadvantages associated with share permissions are listed below:Shared folder permissions do not have as many permission options as NTFS permissions. The only shared folder permissions that can be assigned to users/groups are Read, Change, or Full Control.Share permissions are not inheritable.You cannot back up or audit shared folder permissions.If you move or even rename a shared folder, the shared folder permissions for that particular folder no longer exist.
