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.

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

-d, --debuglevel=INT
Debuglevel to use
-D, --dots

-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
Be quiet
-v, --verbose

-b, --blocksize
Number of bytes to download in a block. Defaults to 64000.
-?, --help

-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/

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).
