Samba

Giriş
Samba bir dosya paylaşım protokolü. Açıklaması şöyle

Meanwhile, in the Windows world, Microsoft implemented their own sharing system called SMB. Of course, it was hated by all Linux users, who would swear their lives on NFS. But SMB was not architected as a single-purpose utility. Everything was carefully considered: users, locking, conflict resolution and collaboration. The shares were not files as nothing is a file in Windows, but objects having full and useful hierarchical descriptions, capturing all the required information about how the share should behave on another computer.

SMB off the bat had its own set of users. If you wanted to get a file, you needed to log in to the SMB server with the proper credentials. These credentials would define exactly what access you have, and how far you can go with it. They would also not need a unified user system across the whole network. You could use it of course if it were available with an Active Directory server, but it was not required.

Internet'e Açmak
Samba'yı internete açmak iyi bir fikir değil. FTP veya WebDAV kullanmak daha iyi.

Windows
