Linux users have come to know SMB and CIFS through the Samba project which provides an open source implementation of the SMB and CIFS protocol. As a cross-platform (Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS X) J2EE application that can be deployed to virtually any servlet engine such as Apache Tomcat, Alfresco employs a pure Java-based implementation of CIFS. This means that Samba is not required on the server that�s running Alfresco. More importantly, Alfresco�s built-in CIFS support lowers the ECM adoption barrier by permitting users to use the Windows Explorer (or the Finder on Macs) to easily connect to the repository and immediately benefit from the aforementioned advantages of a content repository.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Read the full walkthrough at:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_linux</A></BODY></HTML> Thu, 17 May 2007 08:43:45 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-setup-and-use-cifs/m-p/104660#M73107 bsawler 2007-05-17T08:43:45Z
