Hello Anand The protocol you are inquiring about is called SMB/CIFS. Server Message Block/Common Internet File System.
The name in itself is very misleading, CIFS is not an Internet FS in any way, but part of M$ file/print sharing implementation. To answer your question, Samba is a fully functional SMB/CIFS server and client. The client is provided as utilities like smbclient, smbmount. On some systems you even get the option to use smbfs in fstab.
