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 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
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).
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The smbget manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij.

NOTES
Source code for Samba is available in the SUNWsmbaS package.
Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
