Test status

Sambal

Sambal is a ruby samba client

Quite a bit of code was borrowed from https://github.com/reivilo/rsmbclient - Thanks!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sambal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sambal

Requirements

A working installation of samba, specifically the "smbclient" command line utility. See http://www.samba.org for more information. On a mac this can be installed through homebrew https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew, like this:

brew install samba

On Linux (Ubuntu) it's as easy as:

apt-get install smbclient

It should be available in a similar way on all major Linux distributions.

If you happen to be running NixOS or at least the Nix package manager you could just use the flake.nix file in this repo. That should also set you up for running the tests (which require samba). Something like this:

nix develop
bundle install
bundle exec rspec

Usage

client = Sambal::Client.new(domain: 'WORKGROUP', host: '127.0.0.1', share: '', user: 'guest', password: '--no-pass', port: 445)
client.ls # returns hash of files
client.put("local_file.txt","remote_file.txt") # uploads file to server
client.exists?("remote_file.txt") # checks if file is on server
client.put_content("My content here", "remote_file") # uploads content to a file on server
client.get("remote_file.txt", "local_file.txt") # downloads file from server
client.del("remote_file.txt") # deletes files from server
client.exists?("some_directory") # checks if directory is on server
client.cd("some_directory") # changes directory on server
client.close # closes connection
