Samba is an freeware open source tool that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.Samba can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example: IBM System 390, OpenVMS, UNIX, Linux, and other operating systems.Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server.
