How to get list of files in directory smb libcurl?

I'm trying to get a list of files in the directory with libcurl from the SMB server. But I have a error:

curl -u "DOMAIN\login:password" smb://fs/january/soft
curl: (56) Failure when receiving data from the peer

curl -u "DOMAIN\login:password" smb://fs/january/soft/
curl: (56) Failure when receiving data from the peer

If I try to get the file then everything will be okay:

curl -u "DOMAIN\login:password" smb://fs/january/soft/asn1ve.rar > 1
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 9103k  100 9103k    0     0  4056k      0  0:00:02  0:00:02 --:--:-- 4055k
Solution

  • It is not currently supported by libcurl. It is however mentioned in the TODO as something that we'd like to see added one day.
