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, --user=username[%password]
           Username (and password) to use

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

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

       -d, --debuglevel=INT
           Debuglevel to use

       -D, --dots
           Show dots as progress indication

       -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
           Be verbose

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

       -?, --help
           Show help message

       --usage
           Display brief usage message

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

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).
