SMBConnection

✓ from aiosmb import SMBConnection

✗ from aiosmb import SMBConnection

Establishes an SMB connection and authenticates.

import asyncio from aiosmb import SMBConnection async def main(): conn = SMBConnection( target='192.168.1.1', username='user', password='pass', domain='WORKGROUP', port=445, auth='ntlm' ) await conn.authenticate() print('Authenticated') await conn.close() asyncio.run(main())

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn 0.4.x, `SMBClient` was moved from `aiosmb.client` to `aiosmb.compat`. Old imports will fail.

fix

Use `from aiosmb.compat import SMBClient` instead of `from aiosmb.client import SMBClient`.

affects: >=0.4.0

deprecatedThe `SMBConnection.authenticate()` method no longer returns the session; it returns a boolean in 0.4.14.

fix

Check the return value: `if await conn.authenticate(): ...`.

affects: >=0.4.0

gotchaThe library uses asyncio; mixing with synchronous code requires careful event loop management or use of `asyncio.run()`.

fix

Always run within an async context. Use `asyncio.run()` or `await` properly.

affects: all

gotchaWhen using SMBv3, encryption must be enabled explicitly; otherwise, traffic is unencrypted.

fix

Set `encrypt=True` in SMBConnection parameters to force encryption.

affects: all
