DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbget is a simple utility with wget-like semantics, that can download files from SMB servers. You can specify the files you would like to
       download on the command-line.

       The files should be in the smb-URL standard, e.g. use smb://host/share/file for the UNC path \\HOST\SHARE\file.

OPTIONS

       -a, --guest
	   Work as user guest

       -r, --resume
	   Automatically resume aborted files

       -R, --recursive
	   Recursively download files

       -u, --username=STRING
	   Username to use

       -p, --password=STRING
	   Password to use

       -w, --workgroup=STRING
	   Workgroup to use (optional)

       -n, --nonprompt
	   Don't ask anything (non-interactive)

       -d, --debuglevel=INT

       -P, --keep-permissions
	   Set same permissions on local file as are set on remote file.

	   Write the file that is being downloaded to the specified file. Can not be used together with -R.

       -O, --stdout
	   Write the file that is being downloaded to standard output.

       -f, --rcfile
	   Use specified rcfile. This will be loaded in the order it was specified - e.g. if you specify any options before this one, they might

SMB URLS

       SMB URL's should be specified in the following format:

	   smb://[[[domain;]user[:password@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]]

	   smb:// means all the workgroups

	   smb://name/ means, if name is a workgroup, all the servers in this workgroup, or if name is a server, all the shares on this server.

EXAMPLES

	   # Recursively download 'src' directory
	   smbget -R smb://rhonwyn/jelmer/src
	   # Download FreeBSD ISO and enable resuming
	   smbget -r smb://rhonwyn/isos/FreeBSD5.1.iso
	   # Recursively download all ISOs
	   smbget -Rr smb://rhonwyn/isos
	   # Backup my data on rhonwyn
	   smbget -Rr smb://rhonwyn/

BUGS

       Permission denied is returned in some cases where the cause of the error is unknown (such as an illegally formatted smb:// url or trying to
       get a directory without -R turned on).
