Python SMB Connection

[DavinE]

Hey Guys,

I have a Problem and i don't find my solution...
Here's my test Code:

import smb
from smb.SMBConnection import SMBConnection
from nmb.NetBIOS import NetBIOS

netbios = NetBIOS()

share_name          = "share"
user_name           = "user"
password            = "passwd"
server_IP           = "xxx.xxx.xxx.251"
local_machine_name  = socket.gethostname()
server_machine_name = netbios.queryIPForName(server_IP)

print(server_machine_name[0])

# create and establish connection
conn = SMBConnection(user_name, password, local_machine_name, server_machine_name[0], domain="WORKGROUP", use_ntlm_v2=True)
# 139
# 445
print(conn.connect(server_IP, 445))

i get every Time this Message:

ELEKTROTECHNIK
False

but the Function conn.connect return on Success True... not False....
i Have no idea what i'm doing wrong...

im trying to connect to my Synology NAS 718

i hope you guys know what im doing wrong....

Thanks!!

@DavinE I normally access this NAS via FTP but I just tested it with your script and I meet the same connection error.

hehe okay and my idea is now FTP ^^

works this with Pythonista ?

@DavinE FTP is ok and SFTP (SSH) also

[cvp]

But my old WD NAS does not support SFTP...

[cvp]

from ftplib import FTP
import paramiko

ftplib for FTP
paramiko for SFTP

I know I'm annoying you a lot, but would you have a script like with SMB?

SFTP i don't know it works because i use Private Key's for my SSH connection...

[cvp]

@DavinE upload or download?

upload ;)

[cvp]

@DavinE try first this

from ftplib import FTP
ip = '192.168.0.47'
user = 'admin'
pwd = 'xxxxxxx''
ftp = FTP(ip) #connect
ftp.encoding = 'utf-8'
ftp.login(user,pwd)
ftp.retrlines('NLST *')
ftp.quit()

[cvp]

Upload

ftp = FTP(ip) #connect
ftp.encoding = 'utf-8'
ftp.login(user,pwd)
local_file = open(path,'rb')
ftp.storbinary('STOR '+server_file, local_file, blocksize=32768)
local_file.close()
ftp.quit()

There is also FTPS is that better for security?
how can i use this with Ports ?

from ftplib import FTP_TLS

ftp = FTP_TLS()
    ftp.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23
    ftp.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
    ftp.debugging = 2
    ftp.connect('localhost', 2121)
    ftp.login('developer', 'password')
    return ftp

but which version TLS or SSL ?

server_file
is this this the storage Path ?

[cvp]

@DavinE yes sir, but it may begin at first folder where you are authorized. try first without folder, only a file name to check after upload where it has been stored

Never used. If needed, I use SFTP

@DavinE 👍

[DavinE]

@cvp
I Have a Problem...

I used this code:

self.subDirCustomer_Prüfungen = 'Prüfungen'
self.cur.encoding = 'utf-8'
self.cur.mkd(self.subDirCustomer_Prüfungen) 

But i get this Output folder Prüfungen
How can i tell mkd to use the utf-8....

Do you know That ?

[cvp]

@DavinE sincerely, I don't know. I got the same kind of problems with accents like é, è, à on some, not all, machines I connect in smb. To avoid this, I don't use anymore accents in my folder/file names

Edit : even 10 years ago, this kind problem did already exist, see here
