Filesys::SmbClient 3.99_40

Filesys::SmbClient is a Perl module that provides an interface to access routine defined in libsmbclient.so provided with Samba.

Since 3.0 release of this package, you need a least samba-3.0.2. For prior release of Samba, use Filesys::SmbClient version 1.x.

For old and 2.x release, this library is available on Samba source, but is not build by default. Do "make bin/libsmbclient.so" in sources directory of Samba to build this libraries. Then copy source/include/libsmbclient.h to /usr/local/samba/include and source/bin/libsmbclient.so to /usr/local/samba/lib before install this module.

If you want to use filehandle with this module, you need Perl 5.6 or later.

When a path is used, his scheme is :

 smb://server/share/rep/doc
