Read remote file in java which needs username and password

Question

I am trying to read a remote file in java

File f = new File(\"//192.168.1.120/home/hustler/file.txt\");

The remote machine needs a Username

Answer 1

Another alternative with jCIFS you can easily specify authentication parameters:

NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication("domain", "user", "password"); // Authentication info here, domain can be null
try (InputStream is = new SmbFile("smb://192.168.1.120/home/hustler/file.txt", auth).getInputStream()) {
    // Read from 'is' ...
} catch (IOException e) {
    // Handle IOException
}
