====== Information ======

  * Samba ((https://www.samba.org/))

===== Prerequisites =====

  * [[distros:fedora_workstation_gnome|Fedora]] ((notes link to Workstation, but this can be done on Server))
  * [[servers:vsftpd|vsftpd]] ((''vsftpd'' isn't specifically required, but these notes expect the shared folder mentioned to already be mounted in ''fstab''))

===== Notes =====

  * :!: SMB **cannot** be used to serve media to Kodi clients with this config as it breaks filenames with special characters ((such as the colon in "Title: The Movie")), this can be worked-around, but there's no known benefits over FTP
