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
              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 download to the specified file. Can
              not be used together with -R.

       -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 overriden 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

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 er-
       ror is unknown (such as an illegally formatted smb:// url or trying  to
       get a directory without -R turned on).
