Summary

Retrieve metadata information about a file or folder located on a remote SMB share path.

Inputs

  • Smbclient Path — Specify a custom path to the smbclient binary if it is not in the system PATH (default is 'smbclient').
  • Remote Path (required) — Define the remote file or folder path on the SMB share to get metadata for.

Output shape

A JSON object containing the remote path and its metadata properties such as size, creation time, access time, write time, change time, attributes, and a flag indicating if it is a directory.

The metadata object fields may be undefined if the information is not available. The operation returns a single item per input with the metadata in the JSON output under the keys: remotePath, size, createTime, accessTime, writeTime, changeTime, attributes, and isDirectory.

Examples

Example 1: Get metadata of a file "/documents/report.pdf" on the SMB share

Set the Remote Path to "/documents/report.pdf" and optionally specify a custom smbclient path if needed. The output JSON will include file size and timestamps.
