I'm writing a script to sync a folder with a shared folder on a local synology nas. I am able to connect, read the files, and remove no problem but am stucking at copy (storefile).
The docs from pysmb are this
storeFile(service_name, path, file_obj, timeout=30)
Store the contents of the file_obj at path on the service_name. If
the file already exists on the remote server, it will be truncated
and overwritten.
Parameters:
service_name (string/unicode) – the name of the shared folder for the
path
path (string/unicode) – Path of the file on the remote server. If the
file at path does not exist, it will be created. Otherwise, it will
be overwritten. If the path refers to a folder or the file cannot be
opened for writing, an OperationFailure will be raised.
file_obj – A file-like object that has a read method. Data will read
continuously from file_obj until EOF.
Returns:
Number of bytes uploaded
I can't seem to pass the correct type of file obj. The main error I'm receiving is this
smb.smb_structs.OperationFailure: Failed to store on andrews-itunes: Unable to open file
Here is my attempt
with open(start_path + f, 'rb', buffering=0) as file_obj:
conn.storeFile(server_path, '/', file_obj)
file_obj.closed
I also tried using io.BYTESIO. From my conclusion is that I have to pass a byte object without opening it already because it tries to do that, but how could I get that byte file from drive? Any ideas?
The path parameter of storeFile must include path and name of the file that should be created/overwritten. To make the function as flexible as possible, the name is not taken from the file_obj (the file-like object may not even have a name).
