commons-vfs2-cifs

Commons VFS provides a single API for accessing various different file systems. It presents a uniform view of the files from various different sources.

Project "commons-vfs2-cifs" is a SMB/CIFS provider for Commons VFS.

⚠ this project uses "cifs" as the vsf2 protocol name instead of "smb"

Requirements

Project "commons-vfs2-cifs" requires:

• jcifs-ng library
• Java 17

Install

• maven

Example

// Retrieve file system manager
FileSystemManager fileManager = VFS.getManager();

// Configure authenticator
FileSystemOptions fileSystemOptions = new FileSystemOptions();
StaticUserAuthenticator userAuthenticator =
    new StaticUserAuthenticator(domain, login, password);

DefaultFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance()
    .setUserAuthenticator(fileSystemOptions, userAuthenticator);

// Resolve file object file from virtual file system
String uri = "cifs://fs/Documents";
FileObject fileObject = fileManager.resolveFile(uri, fileSystemOptions);

Known Issues

To date, JCIFS has always tried NetBIOS broadcast lookups in favor of DNS which frequently resulted in 6 seconds delay if the jcifs.resolveOrder property was not adjusted. This behavior has been changed to try DNS before NetBIOS broadcast lookups which should result in much less frequent delays when using default settings. To restore the old behavior, simply set jcifs.resolveOrder=LMHOSTS,BCAST,DNS.
