You don't need the server component. Smbclient works standalone without SAMBA or QNTC/NetServer.

Better yet solution would be to send files via SFTP or SCP to remote servers.

And kill any NetBios running on the box.

The samba server IBM provides has been shuttered if I recall correctly.

You don't need to configure the server, but can use the smbclient app to send/receive files from IBM i to other Netbios servers without exposing shares.

Might be worth checking out if you're trying to revamp your file transfer processes.

Here's an IBM setup link for it. Don't configure the server, but just look into using smbclient from PASE once it's installed.

Fooed for thought if you need to stick with file shares and network transfers.
