Because I’m migrating Windows file server to new Linux one.
In Windows environment I shared specific folder (c:\share) and everything, which is contained inside, is accessible directly typing \\10.56.23.22 <smb://10.56.23.22> (showing all subfolders and all files) e.g. \\10.56.23.22\test.exe <smb://10.56.23.22/test.exe> and it’s not necessary to introduce sharing name e.g. \\10.56.23.22\newshare\test.exe <smb://10.56.23.22/newshare/test.exe>

I have website which reference file server path and I should to change every path, replacing \\10.56.23.22 <smb://10.56.23.22> with the new sharing resource, e.g. \\10.56.23.22\newshare <smb://10.56.23.22/newshare>, which I should create on Samba.
