The timeout problem I reported seems to be a known problem (not fixed yet, as per the bug status):
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8677 The windows share I am accessing is across the WAN. Still, things work fine with smbget, but not with smbclient. Also, my script does not work with files > 2GB (but I don't see I/O timeouts with my script ever). > -----Original Message----- > From: Devavrat Mittal > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2012 11:36 AM > To: 'Emmanuel Florac' > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [Samba] 2 GB file size limit with libsmbclient and > Filesys::SmbClient perl module?! > > Hi, > > Thanks for the tip. > > I tried using smbclient but ran into some other problems (I/O timeout > downloading files) :( > > Then I tried using smbget (wget like utility for SMB/CIFS shares). > It works (for files over 2GB, but like wget, it is limited to only one > tcp connection). > > But, it also seems that it does not depend on libsmbclient, at least > ldd does not show libsmbclient as a dependency of /usr/bin/smbget. > > Am I looking at some bug in libsmbclient over here? > > Another thing, why does smbget manage to get the file first time around > itself and smbclient consistently has problems downloading files from > the server (network conditions remaining the same)? > > So my question, which of smbclient or smbget is more mature/ > maintained? > Do any of these depend on libsmbclient (static/ dynamic linking)? > > Regards, > -Devavrat > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Emmanuel Florac [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 3:55 PM > > To: Devavrat Mittal > > Cc: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [Samba] 2 GB file size limit with libsmbclient and > > Filesys::SmbClient perl module?! > > > > Le Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:59:47 -0700 > > Devavrat Mittal <[email protected]> écrivait: > > > > > Now, my script is written in perl and uses Filesys::SmbClient, > which > > > in turn, uses libsmbclient for SMB/ CIFS access.
