  Arno, before shouting, you should *read* what people write and *follow
the thread*.

  Yes, it's *also* a (SMB) client, but - as the name clearly says - also
a (SMB) server.

  The App Store entry clearly says "Network drive - Samba server" at the
very top and:

"LAN Drive is a powerfull and easy SMB server - also known as SAMBA
 server - designed for filesharing.
 LAN drive is also a powerfull client to connect to SMB servers, and
 view/copy/paste files easily."

  Look at the screenshots (the iPhone ones are a bit clearer), which
clearly says the Server is/uses "SMB TCP 445".
