SMB | CIFS / SMB client in python

I'm a bit puzzled by this: someone who no longer works at our company told our client before leaving that what I'm about to describe is feasible, but I'm at a loss for how.

Our client is getting an smb share as read-only from one of their partners. I have absolutely no control over this. This share is mounted on one of our file servers at /mnt/share.

My task is to set up a share from /mnt/share to the clients active directory users, which i have done sucessfully, but I also need to set permissions on certain sensitive subfolders that should be accessible by only certain active directory groups. (for example, only users in the Accounting group should be able to read the "Accounting" subfolder)

According to all documentation I've read, this is impossible because the files "on disk" are read-only (since they are really just a mounted smb share). Attempts to set permissions anyway have been met with no feedback.

The file server is RHEL 7.x (it is in the correct AD realm) and I also have Admin access to Active Directory.

To summarize:

Partner SMB share (read only) -----> File server | SMB share -------[This is where I need to set permissions]-------> user machines.

I want to set up an automatic incremental backup of my SVN repositories. Doing that to a local folder of the same PC seems to work, but if I try to write the files directly to a shared folder (I tried 2 different QNAP nas boxes) I get various errors, always a couple of hundred lines.

I tried

I'm pretty sure I have some synthax error in here, but i can't find it.

I wrote this little script here to find some Files in a Folder - I want all the Filepaths that don't have some of the terms in the $excludeList in there but my Contains-Function always returns $true. And when I enable the Write-Output-Line, it also, always sais $true

Recently, I had to rename all space characters used in the directory and file names in a Samba tree. Before that, I used os.walk to traverse the directory tree of regular files in python, but I wanted to rename them in-place.

To connect to my Samba server and rename a single file, I used this snippet:

I've read some ways to do what I want but none of them worked and they end up using the same method.

I've tried this solution, which I couldn't make it work...

Here's what I get outputed:

I have this script here that needs to mount a network folder, verify that it is mounted, and then start the application. When 'tell application appName to activate' is outside the 'tell application "System Events"' statement, it works. But as it is written below, the application will not open. Additionally, when I replace 'appName' with "QuickBooks", the programs opens as it is written below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an application running on Kubernetes that needs to access SMB shares that are configured dynamically (host, credentials, etc) within said application. I am struggling to achieve this (cleanly) with Kubernetes.

I am facing several difficulties:

• I do not want "a" storage, I want explicitly specified SMB shares
• These shares are dynamically defined within the application and not known beforehand
• I have a variable amount of shares and a single pod needs to be able to access all of them

We currently have a solution where, on each kubernetes worker node, all shares are mounted to mountpoints in a common folder. This folder is then given as HostPath volume to the containers that need access to those storages. Finally, each of those containers has a logic to access the subfolder(s) matching the storage(s) he needs.

The downside, and the reason why I'm looking for a cleaner alternative, is:

• HostPath volumes present security risks
• For this solution, I need something outside Kubernetes that mounts the SMB shares automatically on each Kubernetes node

Is there a better solution that I am missing?

The Kubernetes object that seems to match this approach the most closely is the Projected Volume, since it "maps existing volume sources into the same directory". However, it doesn't support the type of volume source I need and I don't think it is possible to add/remove volume sources dynamically without restarting the pods that use this Projected Volume.

I'm looking for a way to export the ACL of a SMB / CIFS share (not to be confused with the NTFS ACL) from a Windows machine connected to the share. So far, I can see the permissions in the advanced security properties of the share, but no way to export or parse them short of an AutoIT monstrosity.

I want to obtain this information in a format that I can parse, be it CSV, JSON, XML, etc.

I have checked this question which recommends using Powershell's Get-SmbShareAccess: Retrieving Remote File Share 'Share Permissions' Using Powershell and this TechNet question which uses Get-WmiObject: Get-wmiobject Win32_Share does not show Sharing Permissions but both assume we can get Powershell code executed on the server hosting the share: this isn't the case for me as the share is not hosted on windows and I don't have shell access to the machine.

I'm open to any language but would prefer Powershell if given the choice.

I'm iterating through a mounted folder via filePath.Walk method in golang, but it returns the hidden files as well. I have to skip those hidden files. For MaxOS and Linux, we can detect hidden file via .prefix in the filename, but for windows, when I'm trying to us this method GetFileAttributes, provided by "syscall", it's not detecting these methods and throwing an error.

Using below method to fetch the file

err := filepath.Walk(prefix, func(docPath string, f os.FileInfo, err error) error {

Below is how I'm trying to detect the hidden files
