Installation

Install directly from PyPI, using pip

pip install fs.smbfs

Usage

Opener

Use fs.open_fs to open a filesystem with an SMB FS URL:

import fs
smb_fs = fs.open_fs('smb://username:password@SAMBAHOSTNAME:port/share')

The opener can use either an IPv4 address or a NetBIOS hostname, using the NetBIOS name service to find the other token.

The following parameters can be passed as URL parameters: timeout, name-port, direct-tcp.

Constructor

import fs.smbfs
smb_fs = fs.smbfs.SMBFS(
    host, username='guest', passwd='', timeout=15,
    port=139, name_port=137, direct_tcp=False
)

with each argument explained below:

host

the name or IP address of the SMB server

user

the username to connect with, defaults to ‘guest’ for anonymous connection.

passwd

an optional password, defaults to ‘’ for anonymous connection.

timeout

the timeout, in seconds, for NetBIOS and TCP requests.

port

the port the SMB server is listening on.

naming_port

the port the NetBIOS naming service is listening on

direct_tcp

set to True if the server is accessible directly through TCP, leave to False for maximum compatibility

Once created, the SMBFS filesystem behaves like any other filesystem (see the Pyfilesystem2 documentation), except if it was open in the root directory of the server, in which case the root directory of the SMBFS instance will be read-only (since SMB clients cannot create new shares).
