Description

@asolino

is it possible to add a check to list what kind of permissions a user has on particular share before accessing the share? same as smbmap.py functionality

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how smbmap.py checks permissions on SMB shares, then implement similar logic in smbclient.py by adding a new method that queries the share's ACLs before file access.
