[jcifs] Access Denied

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

Chances are you're overlooking a little detail. The fastest/easiest way to determine whats happening is
to trace it with a packet sniffer like Ethereal or Netmon. Of course that assumes you're familiar with
such things. I would just carefully examine your properties file/SMB URL and verify that that domain
user pass is indeed vaild. Your SMB URL should look something like:

[miallen at miallen2 examples]$ java Put smb://rsch\;miallen:foopass@miallen1/temp/zzz.java
#
945 bytes transfered in 0 seconds at 0Kbytes/sec

You'll notice I escaped the semicolon but I could have just as easily put the whole thing in quotes. Or
you might have properties like:

domain=rsch
username=miallen
password=foopass

in which case you could have just used "smb://miallen1/temp/zzz.java". Same theme if you're explicitly
setting properties within your program but I would try the above tests too. Another thing to look out for is
misspelled properties. Otherwise look closely at the permissions on that directory again taking into
account the fact that other clients will fail over to using a GUEST of null account. I think jCIFS does
this too but it might be a slightly different and potentially less successful variation of retrying. Whatever
the case, if you really use the right credentials, I have never seen it fail. Are you using any special
authentication mechanisms on the NT side? Do you have funky characters in the authentication
credentials or path ...etc
