| al@19583 | 1 CIFS support (advanced network filesystem, SMBFS successor) |
| al@19583 | 2 |
| al@19583 | 3 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System (CIFS) |
| al@19583 | 4 protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the |
| al@19583 | 5 native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems. The CIFS |
| al@19583 | 6 protocol is fully supported by file servers such as Windows 2000 (including |
| al@19583 | 7 Windows 2003, Windows 2008, NT 4 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which |
| al@19583 | 8 provides excellent CIFS server support for Linux and many other operating |
| al@19583 | 9 systems). Limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is |
| al@19583 | 10 provided as well. |
| al@19583 | 11 |
| al@19583 | 12 The module also provides optional support for the followon protocols for CIFS |
| al@19583 | 13 including SMB3, which enables useful performance and security features. |
| al@19583 | 14 |
| al@19583 | 15 The cifs module provides an advanced network file system client for mounting to |
| al@19583 | 16 CIFS compliant servers. It includes support for DFS (hierarchical name space), |
| al@19583 | 17 secure per-user session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, safe |
| al@19583 | 18 distributed caching (oplock), optional packet signing, Unicode and other |
| al@19583 | 19 internationalization improvements. |
| al@19583 | 20 |
| al@19583 | 21 Use this module if you need to mount to Samba or Windows from your machine. |
