Plain text passwords are disabled NetBios remote connection

Question

I'm trying connect remotely to windows machine and fetch files from this machine. this is my code,

 path = path.replace(":","");
        path = path.replace("\\","/");
        String smbpath="smb://"+host+":445/"+path; //c/alon2.txt";

        NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication(user+":"+password);
        SmbFile smbFile = new SmbFile(smbpath,auth);

        SmbFileInputStream input = new SmbFileInputStream(smbFile);
        Files.copy(input, destPath.toPath());
        System.out.println("completed fetching file");
        return destPath;

and I got this exception, "Plain text passwords are disabled", i tried to put jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.disablePlainTextPasswords","true"); and it doesnt work, and i dont want to disable the smb 3rd party in the server. Any idea?

Answer 1

You should use jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.disablePlainTextPasswords","false"); to enable plain text passwords. In your code you set this flag as true.
