## Installation

Install directly from PyPI, using [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/) :

```console
$ pip install fs.smbfs
```

## Usage

### Opener

Use `fs.open_fs` to open a filesystem with an SMB [FS
URL](https://pyfilesystem2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/openers.html):

```python
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS#Name_service) to
find the other token. Otherwise, if NetBIOS is not available, a new SMB
connection can be established by using the IPv4 address and giving the
hostname with the `hostname` URL parameter.

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


### Constructor

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

with each argument explained below:

- `host`: either the host name (*not* the [FQDN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name))
  of the SMB server, its IP address, or both in a tuple.
  *If either the IP address or the host name is not given, NETBIOS is queried to get the missing data.*
- `user`: the username to connect with, defaults to `"guest"` for anonymous
  connection.
- `passwd`: an optional password to connect with, defaults to `""` for
  anonymous connection.
- `timeout`: the timeout, in seconds, for NetBIOS and TCP requests.
- `port`: the port the SMB server is listening on.
- `name_port`: the port the NetBIOS naming service is listening on.
- `direct_tcp`: set to *True* if the server is accessible directly
  through TCP, leave as *False* for maximum compatibility.
- `domain`: the network domain to connect with, i.e. the workgroup on
  Windows. Usually safe to leave as empty string, the default.

Once created, the `SMBFS` filesystem behaves like any other filesystem
(see the [Pyfilesystem2 documentation](https://pyfilesystem2.readthedocs.io)),
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).

## Feedback

Found a bug ? Have an enhancement request ? Head over to the [GitHub
issue tracker](https://github.com/althonos/fs.smbfs/issues) of the
project if you need to report or ask something. If you are filling in on
a bug, please include as much information as you can about the issue,
and try to recreate the same bug in a simple, easily reproducible
situation.
