Feature Request: Recursive Download Option for NSF Shares #1062
Description
Please Describe The Problem To Be Solved
With the current nxc functionality, I am able to put and get individual files from an NSF share using --enum-shares, but I cannot list or download all files from a share. This is a problem because, when working in environments like Exegol containers without root or extra privileges, I am unable to mount NSF shares directly. The inability to download several files at once creates a bottleneck for efficient workflows or audits in these restricted setups.
(Optional): Suggest A Solution
It would be beneficial to add a download option to nxc that works similarly to --enum-shares, with an optional depth parameter, to allow recursive downloading of all accessible files on a share. This would help users operate in privilege-restricted environments (such as Exegol containers), enabling bulk retrieval of files from an NSF share without needing to mount it manually. Ideally, the feature should:
- Recursively download all accessible files/folders from the specified share, based on depth.
- Work within permission limitations—only downloading files the user can access.
- Optionally control the recursion depth (e.g.,
--depth=N). - Provide clear output/logs for files downloaded or skipped due to permissions.
This would streamline assessments or file operations when direct mounting is impossible or undesirable.
