Re: AFP connections to Windows 2003 server


why not just use SMB?

--- One reason is that AFP and SMB are not the same. Try this interesting experiment. On an OSX client, mount the same Windows/SFM based share twice. Once with AFP and once with SMB. Compare all the file and folder names and you'll see many are different. Lots of truncated names on the SMB share because of character set differences. Then look at the icons and associated application that will run when double-clicked. A great many are incorrect on the SMB share.
