Mule CIFS transport

This transport is similar to the file transport but allows accessing files on a remote Windows (Samba) server.

Installation

Maven

This transport is deployed to the MuleForge Maven repository. To use it from Maven, simply add the following repository definition to your pom.xml

<repository>
    <id>mulesoft.releases</id>
    <name>Muleforge Releases Repository</name>
    <url>https://repository.mulesoft.org/releases/</url>
</repository>

and delcare a dependency on the transport.

Snapshots are available, too. If you want to use a snapshot, you need to add this repository declaration to your pom.xml:

<repository>
    <id>mulesoft.releases</id>
    <name>Muleforge Releases Repository</name>
    <url>https://repository.mulesoft.org/snapshots/</url>
</repository>

Manual installation

To use this transport along with a Mule standalone distribution, simply download the transport jar from the MuleForge Maven repository and put it into $MULE_HOME/lib/mule. You also have to download the only depenency of this transport, cifs, from Mule's third party repository and put it into $MULE_HOME/lib/opt.

Alternatively, you can bundle the two jar files along with your application.

Usage

The cifs transport is very similar to the File transport. It can be used to retrieve files from an SMB share:

<flow name="smb2file">
    <smb:inbound-endpoint host="the-host" user="username" password="secret" path="/path"/>
    <file:outbound-endpoint path="/data"/>
</flow>

or to store files on an SMB share:

<flow name="file2smb">
    <file:inbound-endpoint path="/data"/>
    <smb:outbound-endpoint host="the-host" user="username" password="secret" path="/path"/>
</flow>
