+====== 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

+  sudo dnf install 'samba'
