NFS or SMB on Windows Share


If I were to create a Windows shared folder, put a database file in that folder to be shared among multiple users of our client app, is that an NFS or SMB shared folder?


Solution

  • For the record it is now supposed to be referred to as CIFS (Common Internet File System). But yes, it is SMB.

    Edit apparently with Windows 8 and Server 2012 we're back to SMB with SMB 3. Thanks, BenL
