# SharedFile Class

class `smb.base.``SharedFile`(create_time, last_access_time, last_write_time, last_attr_change_time, file_size, alloc_size, file_attributes, short_name, filename)

  Contain information about a file/folder entry that is shared on the shared device.

  As an application developer, you should not need to instantiate a SharedFile instance directly in your application. These SharedFile instances are usually returned via a call to listPath method in smb.SMBProtocol.SMBProtocolFactory.

  If you encounter SharedFile instance where its short_name attribute is empty but the filename attribute contains a short name which does not correspond to any files/folders on your remote shared device, it could be that the original filename on the file/folder entry on the shared device contains one of these prohibited characters: “/[]:+|<>=;?,* (see [MS-CIFS]: 2.2.1.1.1 for more details).
