Samba on Android

Samba is a server that runs on Unix-like systems and provides file and print services over TCP/IP using the SMB/CIFS protocol. Porting Samba to run on Android would enable devices to host a file/print server and connect to networks for sharing. Samba provides access control by system wide user accounts with password protection. It can optionally provide guest read and write access to shared folders.
