How to get file from share drive when filename with spaces using samba client?
Hi Team,

following command i am using.
Code:
filename="REP00105 - ABC XYZ (SCM)_ 1.TXT"
/hfx/opt/samba220/bin/smbclient \\\\${nt_host}\\${nt_share} ${NT_PASSWORD} -U${NT_USERNAME} -c "cd ${nt_directory}; prompt; mget ${filename}"

Try
Code:
/hfx/opt/samba220/bin/smbclient \\\\${nt_host}\\${nt_share} ${NT_PASSWORD} -U${NT_USERNAME} -c "cd ${nt_directory}; prompt; mget \'${filename}\'"


I also suggest you eliminate the cd and the prompt commands. In other words don't stack commands, include the full path in the filename rather than having to CD. I don't see the value of why you need to issue the prompt commands. Simplify!
