 The File sharing menu allows you to enable and configure Samba filesharing. Samba is a Linux clone/replica of Microsoft's SMB (Server Message Block) filesharing protocol. Samba allows FreshTomato to "speak" the same language as Windows for file sharing between Windows and Linux-based systems (such as FreshTomato). This allows you to use your FreshTomato router as a NAS drive, if you connect USB storage, such as an external hard drive or flash drive.
-Microsoft's SMB protocol has recently been upgraded to v3. FreshTomato's implementation supports v1 and v2 only. However, these versions are more than adequate for basic filesharing operations.

 Do not confuse this setting with the filesystem rights. Total security is determined by executing a logical AND operator on the Access Level rights and the filesystem rights.
