notation of Path to files/folders/drives that is shared on a network in windows?
- by claws
Hello,
When some thing shared on network using windows network share option. Some people use path like \\something\something\something$ I'm don't know if this is correct way or not. but as far as I remember there is a dollar sign. Can any one please tell me.
What is this notation?
Where can I find more details about this?
What is samba server/sharing? I don't understand when people use it. Is it something related to Linux?
EDIT
I'm a programmer. I guess this file sharing on network using windows uses client server architecture. I want to know what is this server on windows called? What protocol does it use? client is of course our windows explorer.exe? Which service in services.msc is responsible for this?
