DFS/SMB ― SAMBA
• The Server Message Block (SMB) server
– Exports file systems (makes file systems available to PCs)
– Shares directories (determines where the PC enters the hierarchy)

Unit summary
Key points from this unit:

• Devices can be connected to the system using ESCON

channels and FICON channels.

• SNA and TCP/IP telecommunication protocols are both

available on z/OS.

• Users can interact with z/OS using TSO/E, ISPF, and UNIX
shells.

• The Network File System (NFS), DFS/SMB, and SAMBA are

different solutions for distributed files in a network.
