At the moment in Brazil everyone's dancing the samba like mad in the
yearly carnival, but I'm ashamed to say that although I've lived here
for well over 30 years, I still can't dance (too busy sitting in front
of a computer). So perhaps one of you can help me learn at long last.
If I want a directory of my home network, I can type the following into
my Ubuntu terminal:
/usr/bin/smbtree
It asks for a password, but this can be null.
To do the same thing in Rev, I do this:
open process "/usr/bin/smbtree" for read
read from process "/usr/bin/smbtree" until eof
put it into field "test"
close process "/usr/bin/smbtree"
Works like a charm, and doesn't even ask for a password.
Now I want to get the directory of my Windows computer's drive C:\ over
the network (the name of the computer is "john").
In the Ubuntu terminal, the following works perfectly and I get a
listing of my Windows drive:
smbclient \\\\john\\c mount
dir
(CTRL+Z exits Samba)
Now here's where I fall flat on my face. I have tried this and a
thousand other variations in Revolution:
put "/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\john\\c mount" into procToDo
[I have also tried this for example:
put "smbclient\ \\\\john\\c\ mount" into procToDo]
open process procToDo for update
write "dir" to process procToDo [or "dir" & return]
read from process procToDo until eof
put it into field "test"
***
close process procToDo
*** Might it need a simulation of the operator's CTRL+Z here? How do you
do that in Rev? But "quit" works in the terminal too, and I have tried:
write "quit" to process procToDo
However, it seems that the CTRL+Z or QUIT is not the problem. Samba is
not finding my Windows server. The problem appears to be in the first line.
If anyone knows how to dance the samba better than I do, I'd be grateful
for a quick lesson.
Regards to all,
Bob
