Python script to read files from a drive mapped from AWS Storage Gateway.

Python script to read files from a drive mapped from AWS Storage Gateway. Assuming the drive is mapped to a local directory (e.g., Z:/ on Windows or /mnt/storage_gateway/ on Linux), the script will list the files and read their contents.

Steps:

1. Ensure your mapped drive is accessible.
2. Update the MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH variable accordingly.
3. Run the script locally.

Python Code:

python

import os

# Set the mapped drive path (Update this based on your system)
MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH = "Z:/"  # Example for Windows
# MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH = "/mnt/storage_gateway/"  # Example for Linux

def list_files_in_directory(directory):
    """List all files in the given directory."""
    try:
        files = os.listdir(directory)
        print(f"Files in '{directory}':")
        for file in files:
            print(file)
        return files
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error listing files in directory '{directory}': {e}")
        return []

def read_file_content(file_path):
    """Read and print the content of a file."""
    try:
        with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            content = file.read()
            print(f"\nContent of {file_path}:\n{content}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error reading file '{file_path}': {e}")

def main():
    """Main function to list and read files from the mapped drive."""
    if not os.path.exists(MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH):
        print(f"Error: The mapped drive '{MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH}' is not accessible.")
        return

    files = list_files_in_directory(MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH)
    
    # Read the first file as a sample (Modify as needed)
    if files:
        first_file = os.path.join(MAPPED_DRIVE_PATH, files[0])
        if os.path.isfile(first_file):
            read_file_content(first_file)
        else:
            print(f"'{first_file}' is not a file.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

How It Works:

• Lists files in the mapped drive directory.
• Reads and prints the content of the first file (modify as needed).
• Handles errors gracefully if the drive is inaccessible or the file cannot be read.

Dependencies:

• Ensure the mapped drive is accessible before running the script.
• This script reads text files (.txt, .csv, etc.). For binary files, modify the read_file_content function.
