Using SMB File Sharing on Client Systems

You can use an SMB client on an Oracle Solaris 11.2 system to access SMB shares from both Oracle Solaris and Windows systems. This chapter describes how to use the SMB client as an unprivileged and as a privileged user to access SMB shares.


Note -  Common Internet File System (CIFS) is an enhanced version of the SMB protocol that allows SMB clients to access files and resources on SMB servers. The terms CIFS and SMB can be considered interchangeable.
