How do you create sub directories? about pysmb HOT 14 OPEN

I am able to create directories with createDirectory, but there's no way to either create a subdirectory or change the cwd to another directory.

from pysmb.

After a few more tests I realiezed I can simply create a directory "a", then another "b", and then rename "b" to "a/b". That seems to do the trick.

Is this the only way?

@alexei : Have you tried createDirectory('myshare', 'a/b') ?

from pysmb.

Yes.
client.createDirectory('myshare', 'foo/bar') results in smb.smb_structs.OperationFailure: Failed to create directory foo\bar on myshare: Create failed

from pysmb.

What OS/distro are you using?
If you can provide the packet capture, I can look into this in more details later on.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64, Python 2.7, pysmb 1.1.12

Here's the code:

client = SMBConnection(smb_username, smb_password, client_ip, smb_server_name, use_ntlm_v2=True)
client.connect(smb_server_ip, smb_port)
client.createDirectory(smb_folder, 'foo/bar')

And the output:

@alexei : Weird, I'm not able to reproduce the error. Are you using Ubuntu 14.04 as your remote server? I will need the packet capture from you to see what's wrong with the communication on your end.

from smb.SMBConnection import SMBConnection

c = SMBConnection('mike', 'xyzpass', 'MYTEST', 'TESTSERVER')
c.connect('127.0.0.1')
c.createDirectory('smbtest','foo')
c.createDirectory('smbtest','foo/bar')

Hello,

The file server is a Samba 3.5.8, and runs on Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 (Linux 2.6.38-16).

HTH

from pysmb.

@miketeo : I have the same issue.
Samba Server: 4.1.6-Ubuntu on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64
Client: both python 3.4.3 and 3.5.1, pysmb-1.1.17 on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64
thx

from pysmb.

I tried this with python 2.7.8 (win, 32-bit), pysmb 1.1.18, samba 4.1, no issues. The full Samba config is the same as in my post here

from pysmb.

I have the same issue. Can you discribe your solution? thx so much.

Note that if you are trying to create 'foo/bar' folder, 'foo' folder must exist on the remote server.

Note that if you are trying to create 'foo/bar' folder, 'foo' folder must exist on the remote server.

It works when I add Samba config
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777

I had the same problem, so I came up with a solution:

relativePath = r'\\a\\b\\c\\d'
tt = relativePath.split("\\")
for i in range(len(tt)+1):
    tempDir = []
    for j in range(i):
        tempDir.append(tt[j])
        tempDir.append("/")
    tempDir2 = ''.join(tempDir)
    try:
        self.samba.createDirectory(self.service_name, self.smb_dir + tempDir2)  # 先创建文件夹
    except:
        pass
