miketeo/pysmb
pysmb is an experimental SMB/CIFS library written in Python. It implements the client-side SMB/CIFS protocol (SMB1 and SMB2) which allows your Python application to access and transfer files to/from SMB/CIFS shared folders like your Windows file sharing and Samba folders.

miketeo·7y ago·July 28, 2018📋 Changes
- Fix buggy support for search parameter in listPath() method. Add SMB_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INCL_NORMAL bit constant to include 'normal' files with other file types in the returned result. From now on, pysmb defines a 'normal' file as a file entry that is not read-only, not hidden, not system, not archive and not a directory; it ignores other attributes like compression, indexed, sparse, temporary and encryption. listPath() method will now include 'normal' files using the default search parameter.
- Add isNormal property to SharedFile class to support test if the file is a 'normal' file (according to pysmb definition of 'normal' file).
