Jcifs.smb.smbexception: Access Is Denied. Exception For Smb Directories

In the below code statement: SmbFileInputStream din==new SmbFileInputStream(src); I am trying to create a SmbFileInputStream object. This will works fine if SmbFile 'src' is a fil

Solution 1:

You can't create an SmbFileInputStream for a directory, because you can't read/write directly to the directory object. A directory doesn't have any content, at least not in the same way that a file has content.

If you're trying to read the contents of a directory, you should probably be using SmbFile instead (for example, use the listFiles() method). The SmbFileInputStream object is only for reading information from a file.

To write a file to a directory, do this...

Filefile=newFile("/mnt/sdcard/filename.txt");
file.mkdirs(); // this creates all the directories that are missingFileOutputStreamos=newFileOutputStream (file);
// now write the file data
os.write(...);

In your code, change the following few lines...

try
   {
    din=newSmbFileInputStream(src);
    dout=newFileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+src.getName());
    int c;
    while((c=din.read())!=-1)

To this...

try
   {
    din=newSmbFileInputStream(src);

    FileoutputFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+src.getName()); // ADDED
    outputFile.mkdirs(); // ADDED

    dout=newFileOutputStream(outputFile); // CHANGEDint c;
    while((c=din.read())!=-1)

Also change the following...

if(src.isFile()){
    din=newSmbFileInputStream(src);
    //dout=new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+src.getName());// REMOVE THIS LINEFileoutputFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+src.getName()); // ADDED
    outputFile.mkdirs();  // ADDED
    dout=newFileOutputStream(outputFile);  // ADDED
}
else {
    //din=new SmbFileInputStream(src); // REMOVE THIS LINEFileoutputFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+src.getName());
    outputFile.mkdirs(); 
    //dout=new FileOutputStream(outputFile); // REMOVE THIS LINE
}
