CIFS

    (CIFS) An Internet file system protocol,
   based on Microsoft's SMB.  Microsoft has given CIFS to the
   Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an Internet Draft.
   CIFS is intended to complement existing protocols such as
   HTTP, FTP, and NFS.

   CIFS runs on top of TCP/IP and uses the Internet's Domain
   Name Service (DNS).  It is optimised to support the slower
   speed dial-up connections common on the Internet.

   CIFS is more flexible than FTP.  FTP operations are carried
   out on entire files whereas CIFS is aimed at routine data
   access and incorporates high-performance multi-user read and
   write operations, locking, and file-sharing semantics.

   CIFS is probably closest in functionality to NFS.  NFS gives
   random access to files and directories, but is stateless.
   With CIFS, once a file is open, state about the current access
   to that file is stored on both the client and the server.
   This allows changes on the server side to be notified to the
   clients	that are interested.
