This library is a simple implementation of SMB2 for Node.js. It allows you to access a SMB2 share as if you were using the native fs library.
The development is still at an experimental stage and should not be yet considered for production environment.
npm install -S @marsaud/smb2
All async methods can be used with Node-style callbacks or return promises if none is passed:
// Node-style callback
smb2Client.readFile('foo.txt', function(err, content) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(content);
});
// With promise, ideal with ES2017 async functions
const content = await smb2Client.readFile('foo.txt');
console.log(content);
var smb2Client = new SMB2 ( options )
The SMB2 class is the constructor of your SMB2 client.
the parameter options
accepts this list of attributes:
share
: the share you want to accessdomain
: the domain of which the user is registeredusername
: the username of the user that access the sharepassword
: the passwordport
(optional): default445
, the port of the SMB serverpacketConcurrency
(optional): default20
, the number of simultaneous packet when writing / reading data from the shareautoCloseTimeout
(optional): default0
, the timeout in milliseconds before to close the SMB2 session and the socket, if set to0
the connection will never be closed unless you do it
Example:
// load the library
var SMB2 = require('smb2');
// create an SMB2 instance
var smb2Client = new SMB2({
share: '\\\\000.000.000.000\\c$',
domain: 'DOMAIN',
username: 'username',
password: 'password!',
});
The connection to the SMB server will be automatically open when necessary.
Unless you have set autoCloseTimeout
to 0
during client construction, the connection will be closed automatically.
If you have set autoCloseTimeout
to 0
, the connection MUST be closed manually:
smb2Client.disconnect();
smb2Client.ensureDir ( path, callback )
Ensures that the directory exists. If the directory structure does not exist, it is created.
Example:
smb2Client.ensureDir('path\\to\\directory', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('directory structure has been created');
});
smb2Client.exists ( path, callback )
Test whether or not the given path exists by checking with the file system.
Example:
smb2Client.exists('path\\to\\my\\file.txt', function(err, exists) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(exists ? "it's there" : "it's not there!");
});
smb2Client.mkdir ( path, [mode], callback )
Asynchronous mkdir(2)
: create a directory.
mode
defaults to 0o777
.
Example:
smb2Client.mkdir('path\\to\\the\\directory', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Directory created!');
});
smb2Client.readdir ( path, callback )
Asynchronous readdir(3)
: reads the contents of a directory.
The result is an array of the names of the files in the directory excluding '.'
and '..'
.
Example:
smb2Client.readdir('Windows\\System32', function(err, files) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(files);
});
smb2Client.readFile ( path, [options], callback )
path
Stringoptions
Objectencoding
String | Null default = null
callback
Function
Asynchronously reads the entire content of a file.
Example:
smb2Client.readFile('path\\to\\my\\file.txt', function(err, content) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(content);
});
If no encoding is specified, then the raw buffer is returned.
smb2Client.rename ( oldPath, newPath, [ options, ] callback )
Asynchronous rename(2)
: rename a file.
smb2Client.rename(
'path\\to\\my\\file.txt',
'new\\path\\to\\my\\new-file-name.txt',
function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('file has been renamed');
}
);
Existing files are not replaced by default, you need to pass the replace: true
option for this use case:
smb2Client.rename(
'path\\to\\my\\file.txt',
'path\\to\\existing\\file.txt',
{
replace: true
}
function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('file has been renamed');
}
);
smb2Client.rmdir ( path, callback )
Asynchronous rmdir(2)
: delete an empty directory.
Example:
smb2Client.rmdir('path\\to\\the\\directory', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Directory deleted!');
});
smb2Client.unlink ( path, callback )
Asynchronous unlink(2)
: delete a file.
smb2Client.unlink('path\\to\\my\\file.txt', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('file has been deleted');
});
smb2Client.writeFile ( filename, data, [options], callback )
filename
Stringdata
String | Bufferoptions
Objectencoding
String | Null default ='utf8'
callback
Function
Asynchronously writes data to a file, replacing the file if it already exists. data can be a string or a buffer.
The encoding option is ignored if data is a buffer.
Example:
smb2Client.writeFile('path\\to\\my\\file.txt', 'Hello Node', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("It's saved!");
});
smb2Client.createReadStream ( fileName, [options], callback )
Returns a read stream on the file.
Unlike
fs.createReadStream
, this function is asynchronous, as we need use asynchronous smb requests to get the stream.
Example:
smb2Client.createReadStream('path\\to\\the\\file', function(err, readStream) {
if (err) throw err;
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('localFile');
readStream.pipe(writeStream);
});
smb2Client.createWriteStream ( fileName, [options], callback )
Returns a write stream on the file.
Unlike
fs.createWriteStream
, this function is asynchronous, as we need use asynchronous smb requests to get the stream.
Example:
smb2Client.createWriteStream('path\\to\\the\\file', function(err, readStream) {
if (err) throw err;
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('localFile');
readStream.pipe(writeStream);
});
smb2Client.open('path\\to\\the\\file', function(err, fd) {
if (err) throw err;
smb2Client.read(
Buffer.alloc(10), // buffer where to store the data
0, // offset in the buffer
10, // number of bytes to read
0, // offset in the file
function(err, bytesRead, buffer) {
smb2Client.close(fd, function() {});
if (err) throw cb(err);
console.log(bytesRead, buffer);
}
);
});
This API is modeled after Node's
fs
module.
Note: be careful of
autoCloseTimeout
with this process as it is not intended to cover multiple method calls, you should set it to0
and manuallydisconnect()
