Iterating over directory tree (recursively)

ROMEROJNR — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:29:25 GMT

Hi community,

I'm trying to fetch all the file inside a given directory recursively. Are there any easy way to implement this using the API?

example.py
import sys sys.path.append('[omitted output]') from NaServer import * s = NaServer('[omitted output]', 1 , 20) s.set_server_type('FILER') s.set_transport_type('HTTPS') s.set_port(443) s.set_style('LOGIN') s.set_vserver('[omitted output]') s.set_admin_user('[omitted output]', '[omitted output]') volpath = '/vol/[omitted output]' api = NaElement('file-list-directory-iter') api.child_add_string('path',volpath) xi = NaElement('desired-attributes') api.child_add(xi) xi1 = NaElement('file-info') xi.child_add(xi1) xi1.child_add_string('name','<name>') xi1.child_add_string('file-type','<file-type>') xo = s.invoke_elem(api) if xo.results_status() == 'failed': print 'Error:\n' print xo.sprintf() sys.exit(1) print 'VMDK files on '+volpath+':\n' for file in xo.child_get('attributes-list').children_get(): if 'flat.vmdk' in file.child_get_string('name'): print file.child_get_string('name')

example.py

import sys

sys.path.append('[omitted output]')

from NaServer import *

s = NaServer('[omitted output]', 1 , 20)

s.set_server_type('FILER')

s.set_transport_type('HTTPS')

s.set_port(443)

s.set_style('LOGIN')

s.set_vserver('[omitted output]')

s.set_admin_user('[omitted output]', '[omitted output]')

volpath = '/vol/[omitted output]'

api = NaElement('file-list-directory-iter')

api.child_add_string('path',volpath)

xi = NaElement('desired-attributes')

api.child_add(xi)

xi1 = NaElement('file-info')

xi.child_add(xi1)

xi1.child_add_string('name','<name>')

xi1.child_add_string('file-type','<file-type>')

xo = s.invoke_elem(api)

if xo.results_status() == 'failed':

print 'Error:\n'

print xo.sprintf()

sys.exit(1)

print 'VMDK files on '+volpath+':\n'

for file in xo.child_get('attributes-list').children_get():

if 'flat.vmdk' in file.child_get_string('name'):

print file.child_get_string('name')

Thanks in advance!

I found the answer using this same logic:

import os

def list_files(path):

for i in os.listdir(path):

if os.path.isdir(path+'/'+i):

list_files(path+'/'+i)

else:

print path+'/'+i
