I have the question of cDOT CIFS share property showsnapshot.
whether enable or disable the showsnapshot property, I can always access the ~snapshot directory when mannulay entering the path of the \~snapshot. So how does this property take effect?
As the guide of File Access cDOT831,Page314
When the showsnapshot share property is disabled, a user on a Windows client using SMB 2.x
cannot view the ~snapshot directory and cannot access Snapshot copies within the ~snapshot
directory, even when manually entering the path to the ~snapshot directory or to specific Snapshot
copies within the directory.
When the showsnapshot share property is enabled, a user on a Windows client using SMB 2.x still
cannot view the ~snapshot directory either at the root of the share or within any junction or
directory below the root of the share. However, after connecting to a share, the user can access the
hidden ~snapshot directory by manually appending \~snapshot to the end of the share path.
CIFS share output:
