IRIS supports SMB protocol for remote folders?
Intersystems IRIS supports SMB protocol to connect and read files from remote folders (//foldername)?
Comments
I haven't found support for this yet. I have a need for this as well and am considering writing an adapter to support get/put operations using smbclient. If there's a better/quicker way to accomplish this, I'd be very excited to learn about it ![]()
We had toyed with the idea of mounting all of the shares as cifs filesystems on the RHEL 8.5 hosts, but there are quite a few ... Dynamically establishing a connection and then performing the required operation is preferred.
I will create a pex smb client. Thanks!

I created smb support for you! see it: https://community.intersystems.com/post/create-list-upload-and-download… and vote in my app to the contest, thanks!
Mount such folder as a network disk, and you can use it. Just be aware, that you have to mount it under the right user, which runs IRIS.
My req is a smb client, but I will create one using a Java pex client and I will publish into OEX to the community use it. Thanks!
Thanks @Dmitry Maslennikov for help me with my samba app
You are welcome
