Windows File Sharing, (also known as Common Internet File System [CIFS] or Server Message Block [SMB]), is probably the most common of all of the options for sharing media between your computer or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device and XBMC.


 * On Mac OS X it's called Windows Sharing.
 * On Linux/UNIX/BSD its counterpart is SAMBA.
