Open remote folder directly

Let say I have a fedora server with ip 192.168.1.3

What packages or services should I install so that my window client can type "\\192.168.1.3" in file explorer to access the folder directly?

Thanks in advance.

Install the "samba" package, it'll pull in the dependencies it needs automatically.

You may also want to install "system-config-samba" if you don't want to edit the config files by hand.

Thanks.
Samba is what I want and I am configuring the file.
