<h2>SMB2 Support<a class="headerlink" href="#smb2-support" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Starting from pysmb 1.1.0, pysmb will utilize SMB2 protocol for communication if the remote SMB/CIFS service supports SMB2.
Otherwise, it will fallback automatically back to using SMB1 protocol.</p>
<p>To disable SMB2 protocol in pysmb, set the <em>SUPPORT_SMB2</em> flag in the <em>smb_structs</em> module to <em>False</em> before creating the <em>SMBConnection</em> instance.:</p>

<h2>Caveats<a class="headerlink" href="#caveats" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>It is not meant to be used asynchronously.</li>
<li>A single <em>SMBConnection</em> instance should not be used to perform more than one operation concurrently at the same time.</li>
<li>Do not keep a <em>SMBConnection</em> instance “idle” for too long, i.e. keeping a <em>SMBConnection</em> instance but not using it.
Most SMB/CIFS servers have some sort of keepalive mechanism and impose a timeout limit.
If the clients fail to respond within the timeout limit, the SMB/CIFS server may disconnect the client.</li>
