Server Message Block (SMB)

Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol that allows computers on a network to share files, printers, and other resources easily. It acts like a language that enables devices to communicate and access shared data securely across a local network or the internet. For example, SMB makes it possible for your computer to open and edit files stored on a server or print documents through a networked printer. It’s commonly used in work environments and by operating systems like Windows to facilitate smooth resource sharing and collaboration.
