Note: The term "samba" is often used interchangeably with "SMB" (aka, Windows File Sharing). You may be looking for that page instead.

Samba the Linux and Unix implementation SMB/CIFS (aka, Windows File Sharing). If it is not included in a given OS distro, it can be installed easily to share files to XBMC (among other uses). Samba/SMB is often a good choice due to it being highly compatible with other computers, regardless of the OS.
