I have a bit of Java code that outputs an XML file to a NFS mounted filesystem. On another server that has the filesytem mounted as a Samba share, there is a process running that polls for new XML files every 30 seconds. If a new file is found, it is processed and then renamed as a backup file. 99% of the time, the files are written wi...

I use Eclipse on Windows to edit files on a remotely mounted Linux SMB share. Coupled with Samba's stubborn opposition to on-the-fly mapping, Eclipse's insistence on CR/LF creates a real headache with Perl scripts. Any workarounds? ...
For about 3 years my mac could connect to my Ubuntu samba, and randomly it stopped working. I get an error code -36 error and it tells me that it can't connect to it. Weirdly enough, thinking I could just wipe my key chain and re-enter the user/pass (which didn't work), smbclient through the command line connects just fine. I am complete...
Hello all, I want my HTML page to link to a directory in a Samba share (protocol SMB/CIFS Windows share). In my HREF I wrote file://server/Share2/folder3 Most browsers handle it fine (mount the share and open a file manager on folder3) except Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, which says Permission denied without even asking ...
I have setup a new linux box that I am tinkering with. One item that I have always setup is samba so that I can easily copy files to and from the server. The reason I bring this topic up is I am not able to browse to the samba shares from my windows machine. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. The issue that I am having is whe...
I am trying to make a simple commandline client for accessing shares via the python bindings of gio (yes, the main requirement is to use gio). I can see that comparing with it's predecessor genome-vfs, it provides some means to do authentication stuff (subclassing MountOperation), and even some methods which are quite specific to samba ...
What is the best(fastest) way to determine if a Samba mount point is dead on Linux? I need to do it in C. System calls like statfs(), statvfs() block for 30-40 sec when called on a stale mount, and they don't even return an error in this case. stat() seems to fail faster then others (about 10 sec) and returns an error. Mount point may g...

I'm developing a system that interfaces with a USPS shipping package called Dazzle. Part of this system includes a monitoring daemon whose purpose is to take tab-separated value files, turn them into XML that Dazzle recognizes, and pass them to Dazzle for label generation. And this part works just fine. What I also want to do, however...
Is there an abstraction that will allow me to connect to a samba share in python regardless of my platform? More information I do not want to mount a share. I simply want to upload files to a share, such as smbclient's put. Thanks, Pete ...
Hi, for a recent project I need to detect file system changes on a mapped Samba share from java on windows: Creates, updates and removes. At the moment I am using a folder poll that maintains a list of files and their modified timestamp to look for events. But my problem is that this folder poll only peeks into the folder at certain ti...
I've got a website project under version control that relies on files from an unversioned directory on the same server via Symbolic Links. I'm currently storing the symbolic links in the repository. The idea is that if someone checks out a working copy on to the same server they can edit and test the working copy of the project before c...
Hello. I'm looking for some stand alone library to access SMB/CIFS shares. I am not looking for mounting the shares, just browsing and accessing the files for reading. Preferable something with a simple simple API similar to regular POSIX operations of opendir, scandir, read and etc. Thanks in advance! ...
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question so I'll probably be told about it, but anyway - I'm connected to the Samba share on my companies development server from my home (where I work now), and when viewing the files through explorer (windows 7) the browsing is relatively quick. However when I open a directory on t...
Ubuntu server, PHP 5.3, connected via Samba to Windows server share. I am using file_exists() to check for availability of file on Windows machine. It returns false, although the filepath does exist. Meanwhile, file_get_contents() on the exact same filepath works fine. I'm wondering if it's a permission issue, since I'm having trouble ...
Hi all, Is it possible for a process to lower itself from elevated UAC permission back to standard user? If not can the elevated process launch its copy with standard user token and then kill itself? Any code examples (C# preferred)? Details: Problem: - user installs my product (written in C#) - the installer elevates its UAC permissi...
