Well... I know that, but the question was if there are any differences
between smb andcifs.

Cifsis a subset of Smb that deals with file transfers. Any
differences likely depends upon the application. I would expect that,
if you put Smb in the address bar, the app will call Smb and then
transfer the file withCifs.
