NAME

       smbget - wget-like utility for download files over SMB

SYNOPSIS

       smbget [-a, --guest] [-r, --resume] [-R, --recursive] [-u, --username=STRING] [-p, --password=STRING] [-w, --workgroup=STRING]
	[-n, --nonprompt] [-d, --debuglevel=INT] [-D, --dots] [-P, --keep-permissions] [-o, --outputfile] [-f, --rcfile] [-q, --quiet]
	[-v, --verbose] [-b, --blocksize] [-O, --stdout] [-U, --update] [-?, --help] [--usage] {smb://host/share/path/to/file} [smb://url2/] [...]

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)

	   Don't ask anything (non-interactive)

       -d, --debuglevel=INT
	   Debuglevel to use

       -D, --dots
	   Show dots as progress indication

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

       -o, --outputfile
	   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
	   get overridden by the contents of the rcfile.

       -q, --quiet

       -v, --verbose

       -U, --update
	   Download only when remote file is newer than local file or local file is missing.

       -e|--encrypt
	   This command line parameter requires the remote server support the UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
	   Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses the given
	   credentials for the encryption negotiation (either kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple. Fails the connection
	   if encryption cannot be negotiated.

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).
