Hello, if I explicitly attempt to list the contents of a shared directory on a remote host using python on a windows machine, the operation succeeds, for example, the following snippet works fine:
os.listdir("\\\\remotehost\\share")
However, if I attempt to list the network drives/directories available on the remote host, python fails, an example of which is shown in the following code snippet:
os.listdir("\\\\remotehost")
Is anyone aware of why this doesn't work?, any help/workaround is appreciated.
