The notion and function of the Samba Server 

have you ever heard the term Samba Server or a Samba Server what functions? In the article I will share a brief theory regarding the notion and function of the Samba Server. Simple quote from the Wikipedia site: Samba is a program which is an open source file sharing service that provides (file service) and shared printers (print service), NetBIOS name resolution, and service announcements (NetBIOS service announcement/browsing). As an application file server, Samba allows files, printers, and some other resources to be used by many users in the UNIX operating system family, and allow interoperability with Windows operating systems

In regards to the process of sharing data or use of data services together, we not only can use the FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol) which I discussed earlier in the article how to make a FTP Server on Debian 8. But we can also rely on a program that runs on the UNIX family of operating systems, commonly called SAMBA.

Surely some of you have a lot of data-sharing features that utilize or printer on a microsoft windows operating system with the goal of access data or the printer together with some reason. Now what if we want to create a server for data-sharing with family-based operating systems UNIX? In this case we can use the Protocol that is owned by the samba server running on the UNIX family of operating systems

Understanding The SAMBA SERVER

Samba is a program with a client server protocol bridging the process of provision of the services to share data or documents between the UNIX family of operating systems with microsoft windows operating systems, and allows us to be able to use a supported resource together in a network.

Samba Server application is running under a UNIX-family operating systems platforms by using the SMB protocol or Service Message Block Protocol which is also used by the microsoft windows operating system that also has a function as a network client server in the process of use of data with the resource that wants to be enabled simultaneously.

From the above sense can we take a bit of a conclusion that the Samba Server to function as a bridge in the process of data sharing or resource with other hosts that are in a network.

Samba Server to function as a liaison between the UNIX family of operating systems with microsoft windows operating systems in bridge file sharing or printer sharing, document sharing and other devices that support the.
Samba Server can also function as a PDC or a Primary Domain Controller in order to perform validation to any client who joined in a single domain, his simple user that has permission to access a resource that is provided only by user already registered on a specified domain only
The SAMBA PROGRAM Advantages
