find the path of a specific file

[grocanar]

Hi

I suspect some permissions acces on a file in a cifs server. 

I would like to check the effective access on the netapp with the command 

vserver security file-directory show-effective-permissions

but i don't find a way to find the path of the file. 

It s a really old old file with some strange charset on the name. 

I can't use the cifs share to do that as there s a lot of cross domain and nested groups involved. Then i don't reallt know on which groups this user is member off 

I can access the file on the explorer of system explorer. But i don't find a way there to either

- get the path i would able to paste in the cli command

- find if a specific user has acces to this file or not. 

At the end i didn't find a way to list the content of a volume from the cli 

Does someone know how i can espace from this trap?

Hi,

Which ONTAP version it is ? since ONTAP 9.7 you can list files from GUI or RESTApi

If it is older, using ls under node can help

Hi 

thanks your answer 
i m on 9.13.1P6

I wish i would be able to use ls but i can 't. 

the probleme with the REST API and with the GUI is that i can"t run the command 
vserver security file-directory show-effective-permissions

or equivalent one. 
That s my problem

Hi

It could work for me too if i can find the path of the file. 
I have a problem of encoding for the file. 
when i scan with xcp i got the following output 
bureautique/Produits chimiques Ier étage/FDS/CoenzymeA sodium salt hydrate_C3144_files/ec.js

I guess this file use a wrong encoding for the path

That's why I talked about RESTApi or using the Gui to get the exact path !

Well at the endi found the good way to cut and paste the path and the filename from the GUI. 
it was a bit tedious but it works

thank for your help
