What is Samba?
Samba is an open-source software package that is released under a GPL (General Public License). It allows us to access a shared network drive and printers across various operating systems using the SMB/CIFS protocol. Samba has both client and server components. Samba uses the SMB protocol, which is necessary when accessing assets on a file server from a Microsoft computer. Samba can also work as a domain controller that is compatible with Microsoft Active Directory.
