CIFS.1 (CIFS protocol specification)

CIFS.1 (Common Internet File System) is a protocol that allows computers to share files, printers, and other resources over a network. It enables devices like your computer and a server or networked storage to communicate smoothly, accessing and managing files as if they were local. CIFS is an extension of the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol and is commonly used in Windows environments. It handles tasks like opening, reading, writing, and closing files remotely, making collaboration and resource sharing efficient across different systems connected via a network.
