[jcifs] SmbFile.canWrite() question

[Tony Thompson]

OK, that is it.  Is there any way to make jCIFS check your "effective
rights" for a particular file or directory?

JCIFS only looks at file attributes. Meaning canWrite will return true
if FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY is not set. It doesn't know anything about
ACLs. The only way to really know if the user can open and write to
the
file is to try to open and write to the file.
