NFS or SMB on Windows Share

Question

If I were to create a Windows shared folder, put a database file in that folder to be shared among multiple users of our client app, is that an NFS or SMB shared folder?

Answer 1

For the record it is now supposed to be referred to as CIFS (Common Internet File System). But yes, it is SMB.

Edit apparently with Windows 8 and Server 2012 we're back to SMB with SMB 3. Thanks, BenL

Answer 2

That would be SMB.

Answer 3

I would say it is a SMB shared folder. The SMB (protocol) is the NFS (protocol) in the Windows world.
