    public class SmbFile

extends java.net.URLConnection

This class represents a resource on an SMB network. Mainly these resources are files and directories however an `SmbFile` may also refer to servers and workgroups. If the resource is a file or directory the methods of `SmbFile` follow the behavior of the well known `File` class. One fundamental difference is the usage of a URL scheme [1] to specify the target file or directory. SmbFile URLs have the following syntax:

>          smb://[[[domain;]username[:password]@]server[:port]/[[share/[dir/]file]]][?[param=value[param2=value2[...]]]

This example:

>          smb://storage15/public/foo.txt

would reference the file `foo.txt` in the share `public` on the server `storage15`. In addition to referencing files and directories, jCIFS can also address servers, and workgroups.

Important: all SMB URLs that represent workgroups, servers, shares, or directories require a trailing slash '/'.

When using the `java.net.URL` class with 'smb://' URLs it is necessary to first call the static `jcifs.Config.registerSmbURLHandler();` method. This is required to register the SMB protocol handler.

The userinfo component of the SMB URL (`domain;user:pass`) must be URL encoded if it contains reserved characters. According to RFC 2396 these characters are non US-ASCII characters and most meta characters however jCIFS will work correctly with anything but '@' which is used to delimit the userinfo component from the server and '%' which is the URL escape character itself.

The server component may a traditional NetBIOS name, a DNS name, or IP address. These name resolution mechanisms and their resolution order can be changed (See Setting Name Resolution Properties). The servername and path components are not case sensitive but the domain, username, and password components are. It is also likely that properties must be specified for jcifs to function (See Setting JCIFS Properties). Here are some examples of SMB URLs with brief descriptions of what they do:

[1] This URL scheme is based largely on the SMB Filesharing URL Scheme IETF draft.

SMB URL Examples
URL | Description
`smb://users-nyc;miallen:mypass@angus/tmp/` | This URL references a share called `tmp` on the server `angus` as user `miallen` who's password is `mypass`.
`smb://Administrator:P%40ss@msmith1/c/WINDOWS/Desktop/foo.txt` | A relativly sophisticated example that references a file `msmith1`'s desktop as user `Administrator`. Notice the '@' is URL encoded with the '%40' hexcode escape.
`smb://angus/` | This references only a server. The behavior of some methods is different in this context(e.g. you cannot `delete` a server) however as you might expect the `list` method will list the available shares on this server.
`smb://myworkgroup/` | This syntactically is identical to the above example. However if `myworkgroup` happends to be a workgroup(which is indeed suggested by the name) the `list` method will return a list of servers that have registered themselves as members of `myworkgroup`.
`smb://` | Just as `smb://server/` lists shares and `smb://workgroup/` lists servers, the `smb://` URL lists all available workgroups on a netbios LAN. Again, in this context many methods are not valid and return default values(e.g. `isHidden` will always return false).
`smb://angus.foo.net/d/jcifs/pipes.doc` | The server name may also be a DNS name as it is in this example. See Setting Name Resolution Properties for details.
`smb://192.168.1.15/ADMIN$/` | The server name may also be an IP address. See Setting Name Resolution Properties for details.
`smb://domain;username:password@server/share/path/to/file.txt` | A prototypical example that uses all the fields.
`smb://myworkgroup/angus/ <-- ILLEGAL` | Despite the hierarchial relationship between workgroups, servers, and filesystems this example is not valid.
`smb://server/share/path/to/dir <-- ILLEGAL` | URLs that represent workgroups, servers, shares, or directories require a trailing slash '/'.
`smb://MYGROUP/?SERVER=192.168.10.15` | SMB URLs support some query string parameters. In this example the `SERVER` parameter is used to override the server name service lookup to contact the server 192.168.10.15 (presumably known to be a master browser) for the server list in workgroup `MYGROUP`.

A second constructor argument may be specified to augment the URL for better programmatic control when processing many files under a common base. This is slightly different from the corresponding `java.io.File` usage; a '/' at the beginning of the second parameter will still use the server component of the first parameter. The examples below illustrate the resulting URLs when this second contructor argument is used.

Examples Of SMB URLs When Augmented With A Second Constructor Parameter
First Parameter | Second Parameter | Result
`smb://host/share/a/b/` | `c/d/` | `smb://host/share/a/b/c/d/`
`smb://host/share/foo/bar/` | `/share2/zig/zag` | `smb://host/share2/zig/zag`
`smb://host/share/foo/bar/` | `../zip/` | `smb://host/share/foo/zip/`
`smb://host/share/zig/zag` | `smb://foo/bar/` | `smb://foo/bar/`
`smb://host/share/foo/` | `../.././.././../foo/` | `smb://host/foo/`
`smb://host/share/zig/zag` | `/` | `smb://host/`
`smb://server/` | `../` | `smb://server/`
`smb://` | `myworkgroup/` | `smb://myworkgroup/`
`smb://myworkgroup/` | `angus/` | `smb://myworkgroup/angus/ <-- ILLEGAL (But if you first create an `SmbFile` with 'smb://workgroup/' and use and use it as the first parameter to a constructor that accepts it with a second `String` parameter jCIFS will factor out the 'workgroup'.)`

Instances of the `SmbFile` class are immutable; that is, once created, the abstract pathname represented by an SmbFile object will never change.

Method Detail

### connect

    public void connect()
                 throws java.io.IOException

  It is not necessary to call this method directly. This is the `URLConnection` implementation of `connect()`.

  Specified by:
    `connect` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getPrincipal

    public java.security.Principal getPrincipal()

  Returns the `NtlmPasswordAuthentication` object used as credentials with this file or pipe. This can be used to retrieve the username for example: `String username = f.getPrincipal().getName();` The `Principal` object returned will never be `null` however the username can be `null` indication anonymous credentials were used (e.g. some IPC$ services).

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Returns the last component of the target URL. This will effectively be the name of the file or directory represented by this `SmbFile` or in the case of URLs that only specify a server or workgroup, the server or workgroup will be returned. The name of the root URL `smb://` is also `smb://`. If this `SmbFile` refers to a workgroup, server, share, or directory, the name will include a trailing slash '/' so that composing new `SmbFile`s will maintain the trailing slash requirement.

  Returns:
    The last component of the URL associated with this SMB resource or `smb://` if the resource is `smb://` itself.

### getParent

    public java.lang.String getParent()

  Everything but the last component of the URL representing this SMB resource is effectivly it's parent. The root URL `smb://` does not have a parent. In this case `smb://` is returned.

  Returns:
    The parent directory of this SMB resource or `smb://` if the resource refers to the root of the URL hierarchy which incedentally is also `smb://`.

### getPath

    public java.lang.String getPath()

  Returns the full uncanonicalized URL of this SMB resource. An `SmbFile` constructed with the result of this method will result in an `SmbFile` that is equal to the original.

  Returns:
    The uncanonicalized full URL of this SMB resource.

### getUncPath

    public java.lang.String getUncPath()

  Retuns the Windows UNC style path with backslashs intead of forward slashes.

  Returns:
    The UNC path.

### getCanonicalPath

    public java.lang.String getCanonicalPath()

  Returns the full URL of this SMB resource with '.' and '..' components factored out. An `SmbFile` constructed with the result of this method will result in an `SmbFile` that is equal to the original.

  Returns:
    The canonicalized URL of this SMB resource.

### getShare

    public java.lang.String getShare()

  Retrieves the share associated with this SMB resource. In the case of `smb://`, `smb://workgroup/`, and `smb://server/` URLs which do not specify a share, `null` will be returned.

  Returns:
    The share component or `null` if there is no share

### getServer

    public java.lang.String getServer()

  Retrieve the hostname of the server for this SMB resource. If this `SmbFile` references a workgroup, the name of the workgroup is returned. If this `SmbFile` refers to the root of this SMB network hierarchy, `null` is returned.

  Returns:
    The server or workgroup name or `null` if this `SmbFile` refers to the root `smb://` resource.

### getType

    public int getType()
                throws SmbException

  Returns type of of object this `SmbFile` represents.

  Returns:
    `TYPE_FILESYSTEM, TYPE_WORKGROUP, TYPE_SERVER, TYPE_SHARE, TYPE_PRINTER, TYPE_NAMED_PIPE`, or `TYPE_COMM`.
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### exists

    public boolean exists()
                   throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the SMB resource exists. If the resource refers only to a server, this method determines if the server exists on the network and is advertising SMB services. If this resource refers to a workgroup, this method determines if the workgroup name is valid on the local SMB network. If this `SmbFile` refers to the root `smb://` resource `true` is always returned. If this `SmbFile` is a traditional file or directory, it will be queried for on the specified server as expected.

  Returns:
    `true` if the resource exists or is alive or `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### canRead

    public boolean canRead()
                    throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the file this `SmbFile` represents can be read. Because any file, directory, or other resource can be read if it exists, this method simply calls the `exists` method.

  Returns:
    `true` if the file is read-only
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### canWrite

    public boolean canWrite()
                     throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the file this `SmbFile` represents exists and is not marked read-only. By default, resources are considered to be read-only and therefore for `smb://`, `smb://workgroup/`, and `smb://server/` resources will be read-only.

  Returns:
    `true` if the resource exists is not marked read-only
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### isDirectory

    public boolean isDirectory()
                        throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the file this `SmbFile` represents is a directory.

  Returns:
    `true` if this `SmbFile` is a directory
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### isFile

    public boolean isFile()
                   throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the file this `SmbFile` represents is not a directory.

  Returns:
    `true` if this `SmbFile` is not a directory
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### isHidden

    public boolean isHidden()
                     throws SmbException

  Tests to see if the file this SmbFile represents is marked as hidden. This method will also return true for shares with names that end with '$' such as `IPC$` or `C$`.

  Returns:
    `true` if the `SmbFile` is marked as being hidden
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### getDfsPath

    public java.lang.String getDfsPath()
                                throws SmbException

  If the path of this `SmbFile` falls within a DFS volume, this method will return the referral path to which it maps. Otherwise `null` is returned.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### createTime

    public long createTime()
                    throws SmbException

  Retrieve the time this `SmbFile` was created. The value returned is suitable for constructing a `Date` object (i.e. seconds since Epoch 1970). Times should be the same as those reported using the properties dialog of the Windows Explorer program. For Win95/98/Me this is actually the last write time. It is currently not possible to retrieve the create time from files on these systems.

  Returns:
    The number of milliseconds since the 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970 as a `long` value
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### lastModified

    public long lastModified()
                      throws SmbException

  Retrieve the last time the file represented by this `SmbFile` was modified. The value returned is suitable for constructing a `Date` object (i.e. seconds since Epoch 1970). Times should be the same as those reported using the properties dialog of the Windows Explorer program.

  Returns:
    The number of milliseconds since the 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970 as a `long` value
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### list

    public java.lang.String[] list()
                            throws SmbException

  List the contents of this SMB resource. The list returned by this method will be;
  - files and directories contained within this resource if the resource is a normal disk file directory,
  - all available NetBIOS workgroups or domains if this resource is the top level URL `smb://`,
  - all servers registered as members of a NetBIOS workgroup if this resource refers to a workgroup in a `smb://workgroup/` URL,
  - all browseable shares of a server including printers, IPC services, or disk volumes if this resource is a server URL in the form `smb://server/`,
  - or `null` if the resource cannot be resolved.

  Returns:
    A `String[]` array of files and directories, workgroups, servers, or shares depending on the context of the resource URL
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### list

    public java.lang.String[] list(SmbFilenameFilter filter)
                            throws SmbException

  List the contents of this SMB resource. The list returned will be identical to the list returned by the parameterless `list()` method minus filenames filtered by the specified filter.

  Parameters:
    `filter` - a filename filter to exclude filenames from the results
  Throws:
    `SmbException` - # @return An array of filenames

### listFiles

    public SmbFile[] listFiles()
                        throws SmbException

  List the contents of this SMB resource as an array of `SmbFile` objects. This method is much more efficient than the regular `list` method when querying attributes of each file in the result set.

  The list of `SmbFile`s returned by this method will be;

  - files and directories contained within this resource if the resource is a normal disk file directory,
  - all available NetBIOS workgroups or domains if this resource is the top level URL `smb://`,
  - all servers registered as members of a NetBIOS workgroup if this resource refers to a workgroup in a `smb://workgroup/` URL,
  - all browseable shares of a server including printers, IPC services, or disk volumes if this resource is a server URL in the form `smb://server/`,
  - or `null` if the resource cannot be resolved.

  Returns:
    An array of `SmbFile` objects representing file and directories, workgroups, servers, or shares depending on the context of the resource URL
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### listFiles

    public SmbFile[] listFiles(java.lang.String wildcard)
                        throws SmbException

  The CIFS protocol provides for DOS "wildcards" to be used as a performance enhancement. The client does not have to filter the names and the server does not have to return all directory entries.

  The wildcard expression may consist of two special meta characters in addition to the normal filename characters. The '*' character matches any number of characters in part of a name. If the expression begins with one or more '?'s then exactly that many characters will be matched whereas if it ends with '?'s it will match that many characters or less.

  Wildcard expressions will not filter workgroup names or server names.

  Parameters:
    `wildcard` - a wildcard expression
  Returns:
    An array of `SmbFile` objects representing file and directories, workgroups, servers, or shares depending on the context of the resource URL
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### listFiles

    public SmbFile[] listFiles(SmbFilenameFilter filter)
                        throws SmbException

  List the contents of this SMB resource. The list returned will be identical to the list returned by the parameterless `listFiles()` method minus files filtered by the specified filename filter.

  Parameters:
    `filter` - a filter to exclude files from the results
  Returns:
    An array of `SmbFile` objects
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### listFiles

    public SmbFile[] listFiles(SmbFileFilter filter)
                        throws SmbException

  List the contents of this SMB resource. The list returned will be identical to the list returned by the parameterless `listFiles()` method minus filenames filtered by the specified filter.

  Parameters:
    `filter` - a file filter to exclude files from the results
  Returns:
    An array of `SmbFile` objects
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### renameTo

    public void renameTo(SmbFile dest)
                  throws SmbException

  Changes the name of the file this `SmbFile` represents to the name designated by the `SmbFile` argument.

  Remember: `SmbFile`s are immutible and therefore the path associated with this `SmbFile` object will not change). To access the renamed file it is necessary to construct a new `SmbFile`.

  Parameters:
    `dest` - An `SmbFile` that represents the new pathname
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - If the `dest` argument is `null`
    `SmbException`

### copyTo

    public void copyTo(SmbFile dest)
                throws SmbException

  This method will copy the file or directory represented by this `SmbFile` and it's sub-contents to the location specified by the `dest` parameter. This file and the destination file do not need to be on the same host. This operation does not copy extended file attibutes such as ACLs but it does copy regular attributes as well as create and last write times. This method is almost twice as efficient as manually copying as it employs an additional write thread to read and write data concurrently.

  It is not possible (nor meaningful) to copy entire workgroups or servers.

  Parameters:
    `dest` - the destination file or directory
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### delete

    public void delete()
                throws SmbException

  This method will delete the file or directory specified by this `SmbFile`. If the target is a directory, the contents of the directory will be deleted as well. If a file within the directory or it's sub-directories is marked read-only, the read-only status will be removed and the file will be deleted.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### length

    public long length()
                throws SmbException

  Returns the length of this `SmbFile` in bytes. If this object is a `TYPE_SHARE` the total capacity of the disk shared in bytes is returned. If this object is a directory or a type other than `TYPE_SHARE`, 0L is returned.

  Returns:
    The length of the file in bytes or 0 if this `SmbFile` is not a file.
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### getDiskFreeSpace

    public long getDiskFreeSpace()
                          throws SmbException

  This method returns the free disk space in bytes of the drive this share represents or the drive on which the directory or file resides. Objects other than `TYPE_SHARE` or `TYPE_FILESYSTEM` will result in 0L being returned.

  Returns:
    the free disk space in bytes of the drive on which this file or directory resides
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### mkdir

    public void mkdir()
               throws SmbException

  Creates a directory with the path specified by this `SmbFile`. For this method to be successful, the target must not already exist. This method will fail when used with `smb://`, `smb://workgroup/`, `smb://server/`, or `smb://server/share/` URLs because workgroups, servers, and shares cannot be dynamically created (although in the future it may be possible to create shares).

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### mkdirs

    public void mkdirs()
                throws SmbException

  Creates a directory with the path specified by this `SmbFile` and any parent directories that do not exist. This method will fail when used with `smb://`, `smb://workgroup/`, `smb://server/`, or `smb://server/share/` URLs because workgroups, servers, and shares cannot be dynamically created (although in the future it may be possible to create shares).

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### createNewFile

    public void createNewFile()
                       throws SmbException

  Create a new file but fail if it already exists. The check for existance of the file and it's creation are an atomic operation with respect to other filesystem activities.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### setCreateTime

    public void setCreateTime(long time)
                       throws SmbException

  Set the create time of the file. The time is specified as milliseconds from Jan 1, 1970 which is the same as that which is returned by the `createTime()` method.

  This method does not apply to workgroups, servers, or shares.

  Parameters:
    `time` - the create time as milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### setLastModified

    public void setLastModified(long time)
                         throws SmbException

  Set the last modified time of the file. The time is specified as milliseconds from Jan 1, 1970 which is the same as that which is returned by the `lastModified()`, `getLastModified()`, and `getDate()` methods.

  This method does not apply to workgroups, servers, or shares.

  Parameters:
    `time` - the last modified time as milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### getAttributes

    public int getAttributes()
                      throws SmbException

  Return the attributes of this file. Attributes are represented as a bitset that must be masked with `ATTR_*` constants to determine if they are set or unset. The value returned is suitable for use with the `setAttributes()` method.

  Returns:
    the `ATTR_*` attributes associated with this file
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### setAttributes

    public void setAttributes(int attrs)
                       throws SmbException

  Set the attributes of this file. Attributes are composed into a bitset by bitwise ORing the `ATTR_*` constants. Setting the value returned by `getAttributes` will result in both files having the same attributes.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### setReadOnly

    public void setReadOnly()
                     throws SmbException

  Make this file read-only. This is shorthand for `setAttributes( getAttributes() | ATTR_READ_ONLY )`.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### setReadWrite

    public void setReadWrite()
                      throws SmbException

  Turn off the read-only attribute of this file. This is shorthand for `setAttributes( getAttributes() & ~ATTR_READONLY )`.

  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### toURL

    public java.net.URL toURL()
                       throws java.net.MalformedURLException

  Deprecated. Use getURL() instead

  Returns a `URL` for this `SmbFile`. The `URL` may be used as any other `URL` might to access an SMB resource. Currently only retrieving data and information is supported (i.e. no `doOutput`).

  Returns:
    A new ``URL`` for this `SmbFile`
  Throws:
    `java.net.MalformedURLException`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Computes a hashCode for this file based on the URL string and IP address if the server. The hashing function uses the hashcode of the server address, the canonical representation of the URL, and does not compare authentication information. In essance, two `SmbFile` objects that refer to the same file should generate the same hashcode provided it is possible to make such a determination.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    A hashcode for this abstract file
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### pathNamesPossiblyEqual

    protected boolean pathNamesPossiblyEqual(java.lang.String path1,
                                             java.lang.String path2)

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Tests to see if two `SmbFile` objects are equal. Two SmbFile objects are equal when they reference the same SMB resource. More specifically, two `SmbFile` objects are equals if their server IP addresses are equal and the canonicalized representation of their URLs, minus authentication parameters, are case insensitivly and lexographically equal.

  For example, assuming the server `angus` resolves to the `192.168.1.15` IP address, the below URLs would result in `SmbFile`s that are equal.

  >      smb://192.168.1.15/share/DIR/foo.txt
  >      smb://angus/share/data/../dir/foo.txt

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - Another `SmbFile` object to compare for equality
  Returns:
    `true` if the two objects refer to the same SMB resource and `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns the string representation of this SmbFile object. This will be the same as the URL used to construct this `SmbFile`. This method will return the same value as `getPath`.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Returns:
    The original URL representation of this SMB resource
  Throws:
    `SmbException`

### getContentLength

    public int getContentLength()

  This URLConnection method just returns the result of `length()`.

  Overrides:
    `getContentLength` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Returns:
    the length of this file or 0 if it refers to a directory

### getDate

    public long getDate()

  This URLConnection method just returns the result of `lastModified`.

  Overrides:
    `getDate` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Returns:
    the last modified data as milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970

### getLastModified

    public long getLastModified()

  This URLConnection method just returns the result of `lastModified`.

  Overrides:
    `getLastModified` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Returns:
    the last modified data as milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970

### getInputStream

    public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                       throws java.io.IOException

  This URLConnection method just returns a new `SmbFileInputStream` created with this file.

  Overrides:
    `getInputStream` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - thrown by `SmbFileInputStream` constructor

### getOutputStream

    public java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                         throws java.io.IOException

  This URLConnection method just returns a new `SmbFileOutputStream` created with this file.

  Overrides:
    `getOutputStream` in class `java.net.URLConnection`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - thrown by `SmbFileOutputStream` constructor

### getSecurity

    public ACE[] getSecurity(boolean resolveSids)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Return an array of Access Control Entry (ACE) objects representing the security descriptor associated with this file or directory. If no DACL is present, null is returned. If the DACL is empty, an array with 0 elements is returned.

  Parameters:
    `resolveSids` - Attempt to resolve the SIDs within each ACE form their numeric representation to their corresponding account names.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getShareSecurity

    public ACE[] getShareSecurity(boolean resolveSids)
                           throws java.io.IOException

  Return an array of Access Control Entry (ACE) objects representing the share permissions on the share exporting this file or directory. If no DACL is present, null is returned. If the DACL is empty, an array with 0 elements is returned.

  Note that this is different from calling `getSecurity` on a share. There are actually two different ACLs for shares - the ACL on the share and the ACL on the folder being shared. Go to Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares and look at the Properties for a share. You will see two tabs - one for "Share Permissions" and another for "Security". These correspond to the ACLs returned by `getShareSecurity` and `getSecurity` respectively.

  Parameters:
    `resolveSids` - Attempt to resolve the SIDs within each ACE form their numeric representation to their corresponding account names.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getSecurity

    public ACE[] getSecurity()
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Return an array of Access Control Entry (ACE) objects representing the security descriptor associated with this file or directory.

  Initially, the SIDs within each ACE will not be resolved however when `getType()`, `getDomainName()`, `getAccountName()`, or `toString()` is called, the names will attempt to be resolved. If the names cannot be resolved (e.g. due to temporary network failure), the said methods will return default values (usually `S-X-Y-Z` strings of fragments of).

  Alternatively `getSecurity(true)` may be used to resolve all SIDs together and detect network failures.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
