    can anyone tell me what exactly samba does ? is it the linux implementation of the filesharing thing in windows where you right click on a folder and share it out to the lan so i can access it like \\machinename\myfolder\ in explorer

    what does linux usually use for using that simple method of folder sharing, does it has its own version or does it use this samba can windows see linux folders and drives if its connected to the lan

    thanks and sorry for the q but linux for amateurd is pretty daunting
