I am trying to read file from shared drive but I am getting an error
jcifs.smb.SmbException: Failed to connect to server java.net.UnknownHostException: ..MSBROWSE.<01>
i have tired few things but nothing seems to be working. I am getting System.out.println(sFile.canRead()) this as true, that means connection is successful.
public void readFilefromSharedDrive() throws IOException {
String user = "user" + ":" + "pwd";
NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication(user);
SmbFile sFile = null;
try {
sFile = new SmbFile("smb:///ip//path//filname.txt", auth);
System.out.println(sFile.canRead());
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
try (SmbFileInputStream in = new SmbFileInputStream(sFile)) {
int bytesRead = 0;
do {
bytesRead = in.read(buffer);
// here you have "bytesRead" in buffer array
} while (bytesRead > 0);
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ERROR: " + e);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
it throws error at SmbFileInputStream in = new SmbFileInputStream(sFile)
