I want to be able to connect to a windows share via python. My end goal is to be able to recursively search through windows shares. I want to do this in Linux as well. So given a share such as \\computer\test I would like to search through the test directory and any sub directories for any file names of interest. What's the best way of going about this? I know LDAP / AD creds may play an essential part in this as well. Thanks for your input.
Unless there's more to this than meets the eye, the answer's really easy: just do it. On Windows, you just do, eg: import os for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk (r"\\computer\test"): # do stuff with stuff Presumably on Linux you have to use whatever mechanism allows you to address Windows shares in the equivalent way. Maybe os.walk ("smb://computer/test") ?? I'm not really a Linux person, I'm afraid TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
