samba/windows shares

hi

does anybody know how to access samba/windows shares on a network? is
there any module that does this?

i am running linux and i thought of using the mount command to mount that
remote share and then access it, but i was wondering whether that is the
right way?

With python, CIFS client for python?
If not, try smbclient

Hello, can anyone tell me how to find the list of computer names on a samba network, and the list of shared folders / devices on a samba networked computer? We have a GNU/Debian Server, and I am trying to do it first from a Win2000 machine (though ideally, the code should be platform-independent).

Hi All, I'm currently using "os.listdir" to obtain the contents of some slow Windows shares. I think I've seen another way of doing this using the win32 library but I can't find the example anymore. My main problem with using "os.listdir" is that it hangs my gui application. The tread running the "os.listdir" appears to block all other threads when it calls this function.

Does anyone know of a module for python which simulates a samba server (windows fileshare). Instead of sharing a Phisical Device I'd like to share a database based filesystem which is spread over various numbers of drives and servers. Any hints? TC

I've got a Samba share set up on a LINUX box. It's set up for user-level access. A Windows user is mapped to a UNIX user. When accessing through file explorer, a username/password box pops up, and I type the UNIX user name mapped to my current windows user and the SAMBA password. My problem is that I now want to access a Samba share in C#, using the ASPNET windows account. I have no idea how to do this. Basically, I need to copy...

I am using Microsoft .NET (2.0) PrintPreviewDialog and all works well when the Windows default printer is set to a local printer or a network printer on a Windows server, but if I set it to a Samba network printer, it slows down to a crawl. With a Windows server network printer, it takes about 10 seconds to render 100 pages. With a Samba network printer, it takes over 5 minutes! I can see that the preview control is generating

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 base site that needs to access files on Snap Appliance's Guardian OS 4.2, which is running SAMBA 3.x which is a domain member on the network. How do I get our web-server, which is a DC, to retrieve files on the Snap server? Thanks, Mike Ober.

So assuming that I manage to read enough of the documentation before I die of old age to work out how to configure a samba server to share files (and printers) on the network with Windows machines will those shares be available with just my computer on without me having logged in? I am thinking of creating a directory /Home/Shared Files to hold the files I want to share. Is this reasonable. The reason for this location is that /Home is a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
