DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbclient is a client that can 'talk' to an SMB/CIFS server. It offers an
       interface similar to that of the ftp program (see ftp(1)). Operations include
       things like getting files from the server to the local machine, putting files
       from the local machine to the server, retrieving directory information from the
       server and so on.

OPTIONS
       servicename
           servicename is the name of the service you want to use on the server. A
           service name takes the form //server/service where server is the NetBIOS
           name of the SMB/CIFS server offering the desired service and service is the
           name of the service offered. Thus to connect to the service "printer" on the
           SMB/CIFS server "smbserver", you would use the servicename
           //smbserver/printer

           Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the IP (DNS) host name
           of the server ! The name required is a NetBIOS server name, which may or may
           not be the same as the IP hostname of the machine running the server.

           The server name is looked up according to either the -R parameter to
           smbclient or using the name resolve order parameter in the smb.conf(5) file,
           allowing an administrator to change the order and methods by which server
           names are looked up.

       password
           The password required to access the specified service on the specified
           server. If this parameter is supplied, the -N option (suppress password
           prompt) is assumed.

           There is no default password. If no password is supplied on the command line
           (either by using this parameter or adding a password to the -U option (see
           below)) and the -N option is not specified, the client will prompt for a
           password, even if the desired service does not require one. (If no password
           is required, simply press ENTER to provide a null password.)

           Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist on an
           uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be rejected by
           these servers.

           Be cautious about including passwords in scripts.

       -R|--name-resolve <name resolve order>
           This option is used by the programs in the Samba suite to determine what
           naming services and in what order to resolve host names to IP addresses. The
           option takes a space-separated string of different name resolution options.

           The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause names to
           be resolved as follows:

                  •   lmhosts: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
                      line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the NetBIOS name
                      (see the lmhosts(5) for details) then any name type matches for
                      lookup.

                  •   host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the
                      system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name
                      resolution is operating system dependent, for instance on IRIX or
                      Solaris this may be controlled by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file).
                      Note that this method is only used if the NetBIOS name type being
                      queried is the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.

                  •   wins: Query a name with the IP address listed in the wins server
                      parameter. If no WINS server has been specified this method will
                      be ignored.

                  •   bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
                      listed in the interfaces parameter. This is the least reliable of
                      the name resolution methods as it depends on the target host
                      being on a locally connected subnet.

           If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the
           smb.conf(5) file parameter (name resolve order) will be used.

           The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this parameter
           or any entry in the name resolve order parameter of the smb.conf(5) file the
           name resolution methods will be attempted in this order.

       -M|--message NetBIOS name
           This options allows you to send messages, using the "WinPopup" protocol, to
           another computer. Once a connection is established you then type your
           message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.

           If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will receive the
           message and probably a beep. If they are not running WinPopup the message
           will be lost, and no error message will occur.

           The message is also automatically truncated if the message is over 1600
           bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol.

           One useful trick is to pipe the message through smbclient. For example:
           smbclient -M FRED < mymessage.txt will send the message in the file
           mymessage.txt to the machine FRED.

           You may also find the -U and -I options useful, as they allow you to control
           the FROM and TO parts of the message.

           See the message command parameter in the smb.conf(5) for a description of
           how to handle incoming WinPopup messages in Samba.

           Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if you want them
           to always be able to receive messages.

       -p|--port port
           This number is the TCP port number that will be used when making connections
           to the server. The standard (well-known) TCP port number for an SMB/CIFS
           server is 139, which is the default.

       -g|--grepable
           This parameter provides combined with -L easy parseable output that allows
           processing with utilities such as grep and cut.

       -m|--max-protocol protocol
           This allows the user to select the highest SMB protocol level that smbclient
           will use to connect to the server. By default this is set to NT1, which is
           the highest available SMB1 protocol. To connect using SMB2 or SMB3 protocol,
           use the strings SMB2 or SMB3 respectively. Note that to connect to a Windows
           2012 server with encrypted transport selecting a max-protocol of SMB3 is
           required.

       -P|--machine-pass
           Make queries to the external server using the machine account of the local
           server.

       -I|--ip-address IP-address
           IP address is the address of the server to connect to. It should be
           specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.

           Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server by
           looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism described above in
           the name resolve order parameter above. Using this parameter will force the
           client to assume that the server is on the machine with the specified IP
           address and the NetBIOS name component of the resource being connected to
           will be ignored.

           There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be
           determined automatically by the client as described above.

       -E|--stderr
           This parameter causes the client to write messages to the standard error
           stream (stderr) rather than to the standard output stream.

           By default, the client writes messages to standard output - typically the
           user's tty.

       -L|--list
           This option allows you to look at what services are available on a server.
           You use it as smbclient -L host and a list should appear. The -I option may
           be useful if your NetBIOS names don't match your TCP/IP DNS host names or if
           you are trying to reach a host on another network.

       -b|--send-buffer buffersize
           When sending or receiving files, smbclient uses an internal buffer sized by
           the maximum number of allowed requests to the connected server. This command
           allows this size to be set to any range between 0 (which means use the
           default server controlled size) bytes and 16776960 (0xFFFF00) bytes. Using
           the server controlled size is the most efficient as smbclient will pipeline
           as many simultaneous reads or writes needed to keep the server as busy as
           possible. Setting this to any other size will slow down the transfer. This
           can also be set using the iosize command inside smbclient.

       -B|--browse
           Browse SMB servers using DNS.

       -d|--debuglevel=level
           level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not
           specified is 1.

           The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about
           the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious
           warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day
           running - it generates a small amount of information about operations
           carried out.

           Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should
           only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
           use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which
           is extremely cryptic.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level
           parameter in the smb.conf file.

       -V|--version
           Prints the program version number.

       -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
           The file specified contains the configuration details required by the
           server. The information in this file includes server-specific information
           such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the
           services that the server is to provide. See smb.conf for more information.
           The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.

       -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
           Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname" will be
           appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never
           removed by the client.

       --option=<name>=<value>
           Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the command
           line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the
           configuration file.

       -N|--no-pass
           If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt from the
           client to the user. This is useful when accessing a service that does not
           require a password.

           Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is
           specified, the client will request a password.

           If a password is specified on the command line and this option is also
           defined the password on the command line will be silently ingnored and no
           password will be used.

       -k|--kerberos
           Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active Directory
           environment.

       -C|--use-ccache
           Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.

       -A|--authentication-file=filename
           This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the username and
           password used in the connection. The format of the file is

               username = <value>
               password = <value>
               domain   = <value>

           Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted
           users.

       -U|--user=username[%password]
           Sets the SMB username or username and password.

           If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The client will
           first check the USER environment variable, then the LOGNAME variable and if
           either exists, the string is uppercased. If these environmental variables
           are not found, the username GUEST is used.

           A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of
           the username and password. This option is mainly provided for scripts where
           the admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via
           environment variables. If this method is used, make certain that the
           permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for
           more details.

           Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many systems the
           command line of a running process may be seen via the ps command. To be safe
           always allow rpcclient to prompt for a password and type it in directly.

       -S|--signing on|off|required
           Set the client signing state.

       -P|--machine-pass
           Use stored machine account password.

       -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.

       --pw-nt-hash
           The supplied password is the NT hash.

       -n|--netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
           This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for
           itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter in the
           smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take precedence over
           settings in smb.conf.

       -i|--scope <scope>
           This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to communicate with
           when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the use of NetBIOS scopes, see
           rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes are very rarely used, only set
           this parameter if you are the system administrator in charge of all the
           NetBIOS systems you communicate with.

       -W|--workgroup=domain
           Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default domain which
           is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain specified is the same as
           the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the client to log on using the servers
           local SAM (as opposed to the Domain SAM).

       -O|--socket-options socket options
           TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket options
           parameter in the smb.conf manual page for the list of valid options.

       -?|--help
           Print a summary of command line options.

       --usage
           Display brief usage message.

       -t|--timeout <timeout-seconds>
           This allows the user to tune the default timeout used for each SMB request.
           The default setting is 20 seconds. Increase it if requests to the server
           sometimes time out. This can happen when SMB3 encryption is selected and
           smbclient is overwhelming the server with requests. This can also be set
           using the timeout command inside smbclient.

       -T|--tar tar options
           smbclient may be used to create tar(1) compatible backups of all the files
           on an SMB/CIFS share. The secondary tar flags that can be given to this
           option are:

                  •   c - Create a tar backup archive on the local system. Must be
                      followed by the name of a tar file, tape device or "-" for
                      standard output. If using standard output you must turn the log
                      level to its lowest value -d0 to avoid corrupting your tar file.
                      This flag is mutually exclusive with the x flag.

                  •   x - Extract (restore) a local tar file back to a share. Unless
                      the -D option is given, the tar files will be restored from the
                      top level of the share. Must be followed by the name of the tar
                      file, device or "-" for standard input. Mutually exclusive with
                      the c flag. Restored files have their creation times (mtime) set
                      to the date saved in the tar file. Directories currently do not
                      get their creation dates restored properly.

                  •   I - Include files and directories. Is the default behavior when
                      filenames are specified above. Causes files to be included in an
                      extract or create (and therefore everything else to be excluded).
                      See example below. Filename globbing works in one of two ways.
                      See r below.

                  •   X - Exclude files and directories. Causes files to be excluded
                      from an extract or create. See example below. Filename globbing
                      works in one of two ways. See r below.

                  •   F - File containing a list of files and directories. The F causes
                      the name following the tarfile to create to be read as a filename
                      that contains a list of files and directories to be included in
                      an extract or create (and therefore everything else to be
                      excluded). See example below. Filename globbing works in one of
                      two ways. See r below.

                  •   b - Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater than zero)
                      blocksize. Causes tar file to be written out in blocksize*TBLOCK
                      (512 byte) blocks.

                  •   g - Incremental. Only back up files that have the archive bit
                      set. Useful only with the c flag.

                  •   q - Quiet. Keeps tar from printing diagnostics as it works. This
                      is the same as tarmode quiet.

                  •   r - Use wildcard matching to include or exclude. Deprecated.

                  •   N - Newer than. Must be followed by the name of a file whose date
                      is compared against files found on the share during a create.
                      Only files newer than the file specified are backed up to the tar
                      file. Useful only with the c flag.

                  •   a - Set archive bit. Causes the archive bit to be reset when a
                      file is backed up. Useful with the g and c flags.

           Tar Long File Names

           smbclient's tar option now supports long file names both on backup and
           restore. However, the full path name of the file must be less than 1024
           bytes. Also, when a tar archive is created, smbclient's tar option places
           all files in the archive with relative names, not absolute names.

           Tar Filenames

           All file names can be given as DOS path names (with '\\' as the component
           separator) or as UNIX path names (with '/' as the component separator).

           Examples

           Restore from tar file backup.tar into myshare on mypc (no password on
           share).

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tx backup.tar

           Restore everything except users/docs

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -TXx backup.tar users/docs

           Create a tar file of the files beneath users/docs.

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users/docs

           Create the same tar file as above, but now use a DOS path name.

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users\edocs

           Create a tar file of the files listed in the file tarlist.

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -TcF backup.tar tarlist

           Create a tar file of all the files and directories in the share.

           smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar *

       -D|--directory initial directory
           Change to initial directory before starting. Probably only of any use with
           the tar -T option.

       -c|--command command string
           command string is a semicolon-separated list of commands to be executed
           instead of prompting from stdin.
            -N is implied by -c.

           This is particularly useful in scripts and for printing stdin to the server,
           e.g.  -c 'print -'.

OPERATIONS
       Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt :

       smb:\>

       The backslash ("\\") indicates the current working directory on the server, and
       will change if the current working directory is changed.

       The prompt indicates that the client is ready and waiting to carry out a user
       command. Each command is a single word, optionally followed by parameters
       specific to that command. Command and parameters are space-delimited unless
       these notes specifically state otherwise. All commands are case-insensitive.
       Parameters to commands may or may not be case sensitive, depending on the
       command.

       You can specify file names which have spaces in them by quoting the name with
       double quotes, for example "a long file name".

       Parameters shown in square brackets (e.g., "[parameter]") are optional. If not
       given, the command will use suitable defaults. Parameters shown in angle
       brackets (e.g., "<parameter>") are required.

       Note that all commands operating on the server are actually performed by issuing
       a request to the server. Thus the behavior may vary from server to server,
       depending on how the server was implemented.

       The commands available are given here in alphabetical order.

       ? [command]
           If command is specified, the ? command will display a brief informative
           message about the specified command. If no command is specified, a list of
           available commands will be displayed.

       ! [shell command]
           If shell command is specified, the ! command will execute a shell locally
           and run the specified shell command. If no command is specified, a local
           shell will be run.

       allinfo file
           The client will request that the server return all known information about a
           file or directory (including streams).

       altname file
           The client will request that the server return the "alternate" name (the 8.3
           name) for a file or directory.

       archive <number>
           Sets the archive level when operating on files. 0 means ignore the archive
           bit, 1 means only operate on files with this bit set, 2 means only operate
           on files with this bit set and reset it after operation, 3 means operate on
           all files and reset it after operation. The default is 0.

       backup
           Toggle the state of the "backup intent" flag sent to the server on directory
           listings and file opens. If the "backup intent" flag is true, the server
           will try and bypass some file system checks if the user has been granted
           SE_BACKUP or SE_RESTORE privileges. This state is useful when performing a
           backup or restore operation.

       blocksize <number>
           Sets the blocksize parameter for a tar operation. The default is 20. Causes
           tar file to be written out in blocksize*TBLOCK (normally 512 byte) units.

       cancel jobid0 [jobid1] ... [jobidN]
           The client will request that the server cancel the printjobs identified by
           the given numeric print job ids.

       case_sensitive
           Toggles the setting of the flag in SMB packets that tells the server to
           treat filenames as case sensitive. Set to OFF by default (tells file server
           to treat filenames as case insensitive). Only currently affects Samba 3.0.5
           and above file servers with the case sensitive parameter set to auto in the
           smb.conf.

       cd <directory name>
           If "directory name" is specified, the current working directory on the
           server will be changed to the directory specified. This operation will fail
           if for any reason the specified directory is inaccessible.

           If no directory name is specified, the current working directory on the
           server will be reported.

       chmod file mode in octal
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. The client requests that the server change
           the UNIX permissions to the given octal mode, in standard UNIX format.

       chown file uid gid
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. The client requests that the server change
           the UNIX user and group ownership to the given decimal values. Note there is
           currently no way to remotely look up the UNIX uid and gid values for a given
           name. This may be addressed in future versions of the CIFS UNIX extensions.

       close <fileid>
           Closes a file explicitly opened by the open command. Used for internal Samba
           testing purposes.

       del <mask>
           The client will request that the server attempt to delete all files matching
           mask from the current working directory on the server.

       deltree <mask>
           The client will request that the server attempt to delete all files and
           directories matching mask from the current working directory on the server.
           Note this will recursively delete files and directories within the
           directories selected even without the recurse command being set. If any of
           the delete requests fail the command will stop processing at that point,
           leaving files and directories not yet processed untouched. This is by
           design.

       dir <mask>
           A list of the files matching mask in the current working directory on the
           server will be retrieved from the server and displayed.

       du <filename>
           Does a directory listing and then prints out the current disk usage and free
           space on a share.

       echo <number> <data>
           Does an SMBecho request to ping the server. Used for internal Samba testing
           purposes.

       exit
           Terminate the connection with the server and exit from the program.

       get <remote file name> [local file name]
           Copy the file called remote file name from the server to the machine running
           the client. If specified, name the local copy local file name. Note that all
           transfers in smbclient are binary. See also the lowercase command.

       getfacl <filename>
           Requires the server support the UNIX extensions. Requests and prints the
           POSIX ACL on a file.

       hardlink <src> <dest>
           Creates a hardlink on the server using Windows CIFS semantics.

       help [command]
           See the ? command above.

       history
           Displays the command history.

       iosize <bytes>
           When sending or receiving files, smbclient uses an internal buffer sized by
           the maximum number of allowed requests to the connected server. This command
           allows this size to be set to any range between 0 (which means use the
           default server controlled size) bytes and 16776960 (0xFFFF00) bytes. Using
           the server controlled size is the most efficient as smbclient will pipeline
           as many simultaneous reads or writes needed to keep the server as busy as
           possible. Setting this to any other size will slow down the transfer.

       lcd [directory name]
           If directory name is specified, the current working directory on the local
           machine will be changed to the directory specified. This operation will fail
           if for any reason the specified directory is inaccessible.

           If no directory name is specified, the name of the current working directory
           on the local machine will be reported.

       link target linkname
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. The client requests that the server create
           a hard link between the linkname and target files. The linkname file must
           not exist.

       listconnect
           Show the current connections held for DFS purposes.

       lock <filenum> <r|w> <hex-start> <hex-len>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Tries to set a POSIX fcntl lock of the
           given type on the given range. Used for internal Samba testing purposes.

       logon <username> <password>
           Establishes a new vuid for this session by logging on again. Replaces the
           current vuid. Prints out the new vuid. Used for internal Samba testing
           purposes.

       logoff
           Logs the user off the server, closing the session. Used for internal Samba
           testing purposes.

       lowercase
           Toggle lowercasing of filenames for the get and mget commands.

           When lowercasing is toggled ON, local filenames are converted to lowercase
           when using the get and mget commands. This is often useful when copying
           (say) MSDOS files from a server, because lowercase filenames are the norm on
           UNIX systems.

       ls <mask>
           See the dir command above.

       mask <mask>
           This command allows the user to set up a mask which will be used during
           recursive operation of the mget and mput commands.

           The masks specified to the mget and mput commands act as filters for
           directories rather than files when recursion is toggled ON.

           The mask specified with the mask command is necessary to filter files within
           those directories. For example, if the mask specified in an mget command is
           "source*" and the mask specified with the mask command is "*.c" and
           recursion is toggled ON, the mget command will retrieve all files matching
           "*.c" in all directories below and including all directories matching
           "source*" in the current working directory.

           Note that the value for mask defaults to blank (equivalent to "*") and
           remains so until the mask command is used to change it. It retains the most
           recently specified value indefinitely. To avoid unexpected results it would
           be wise to change the value of mask back to "*" after using the mget or mput
           commands.

       md <directory name>
           See the mkdir command.

       mget <mask>
           Copy all files matching mask from the server to the machine running the
           client.

           Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation and
           non-recursive operation - refer to the recurse and mask commands for more
           information. Note that all transfers in smbclient are binary. See also the
           lowercase command.

       mkdir <directory name>
           Create a new directory on the server (user access privileges permitting)
           with the specified name.

       more <file name>
           Fetch a remote file and view it with the contents of your PAGER environment
           variable.

       mput <mask>
           Copy all files matching mask in the current working directory on the local
           machine to the current working directory on the server.

           Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation and
           non-recursive operation - refer to the recurse and mask commands for more
           information. Note that all transfers in smbclient are binary.

       notify <dir name>
           Query a directory for change notifications. This command issues a recursive
           filechangenotify call for all possible changes. As changes come in will
           print one line per change. See
           https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn392331.aspx for a description of
           the action numbers that this command prints.

           This command never ends, it waits for event indefinitely.

       posix
           Query the remote server to see if it supports the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           prints out the list of capabilities supported. If so, turn on POSIX pathname
           processing and large file read/writes (if available),.

       posix_encrypt <domain> <username> <password>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Attempt to negotiate SMB encryption on
           this connection. If smbclient connected with kerberos credentials (-k) the
           arguments to this command are ignored and the kerberos credentials are used
           to negotiate GSSAPI signing and sealing instead. See also the -e option to
           smbclient to force encryption on initial connection. This command is new
           with Samba 3.2.

       posix_open <filename> <octal mode>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Opens a remote file using the CIFS UNIX
           extensions and prints a fileid. Used for internal Samba testing purposes.

       posix_mkdir <directoryname> <octal mode>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Creates a remote directory using the CIFS
           UNIX extensions with the given mode.

       posix_rmdir <directoryname>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Deletes a remote directory using the CIFS
           UNIX extensions.

       posix_unlink <filename>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Deletes a remote file using the CIFS UNIX
           extensions.

       posix_whoami
           Query the remote server for the user token using the CIFS UNIX extensions
           WHOAMI call. Prints out the guest status, user, group, group list and sid
           list that the remote server is using on behalf of the logged on user.

       print <file name>
           Print the specified file from the local machine through a printable service
           on the server.

       prompt
           Toggle prompting for filenames during operation of the mget and mput
           commands.

           When toggled ON, the user will be prompted to confirm the transfer of each
           file during these commands. When toggled OFF, all specified files will be
           transferred without prompting.

       put <local file name> [remote file name]
           Copy the file called local file name from the machine running the client to
           the server. If specified, name the remote copy remote file name. Note that
           all transfers in smbclient are binary. See also the lowercase command.

       queue
           Displays the print queue, showing the job id, name, size and current status.

       quit
           See the exit command.

       readlink symlinkname
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Print the value of the symlink
           "symlinkname".

       rd <directory name>
           See the rmdir command.

       recurse
           Toggle directory recursion for the commands mget and mput.

           When toggled ON, these commands will process all directories in the source
           directory (i.e., the directory they are copying from ) and will recurse into
           any that match the mask specified to the command. Only files that match the
           mask specified using the mask command will be retrieved. See also the mask
           command.

           When recursion is toggled OFF, only files from the current working directory
           on the source machine that match the mask specified to the mget or mput
           commands will be copied, and any mask specified using the mask command will
           be ignored.

       rename <old filename> <new filename> [-f]
           Rename files in the current working directory on the server from old
           filename to new filename. The optional -f switch allows for superseding the
           destination file, if it exists. This is supported by NT1 protocol dialect
           and SMB2 protocol family.

       rm <mask>
           Remove all files matching mask from the current working directory on the
           server.

       rmdir <directory name>
           Remove the specified directory (user access privileges permitting) from the
           server.

       scopy <source filename> <destination filename>
           Attempt to copy a file on the server using the most efficient server-side
           copy calls. Falls back to using read then write if server doesn't support
           server-side copy.

       setmode <filename> <perm=[+|\-]rsha>
           A version of the DOS attrib command to set file permissions. For example:

           setmode myfile +r

           would make myfile read only.

       showconnect
           Show the currently active connection held for DFS purposes.

       stat file
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. The client requests the UNIX basic info
           level and prints out the same info that the Linux stat command would about
           the file. This includes the size, blocks used on disk, file type,
           permissions, inode number, number of links and finally the three timestamps
           (access, modify and change). If the file is a special file (symlink,
           character or block device, fifo or socket) then extra information may also
           be printed.

       symlink target linkname
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. The client requests that the server create
           a symbolic hard link between the target and linkname files. The linkname
           file must not exist. Note that the server will not create a link to any path
           that lies outside the currently connected share. This is enforced by the
           Samba server.

       tar <c|x>[IXbgNa]
           Performs a tar operation - see the -T command line option above. Behavior
           may be affected by the tarmode command (see below). Using g (incremental)
           and N (newer) will affect tarmode settings. Note that using the "-" option
           with tar x may not work - use the command line option instead.

       blocksize <blocksize>
           Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater than zero) blocksize. Causes
           tar file to be written out in blocksize*TBLOCK (512 byte) blocks.

       tarmode <full|inc|reset|noreset|system|nosystem|hidden|nohidden>
           Changes tar's behavior with regard to DOS attributes. There are 4 modes
           which can be turned on or off.

           Incremental mode (default off). When off (using full) tar will back up
           everything regardless of the archive bit setting. When on (using inc), tar
           will only back up files with the archive bit set.

           Reset mode (default off). When on (using reset), tar will remove the archive
           bit on all files it backs up (implies read/write share). Use noreset to turn
           off.

           System mode (default on). When off, tar will not backup system files. Use
           nosystem to turn off.

           Hidden mode (default on). When off, tar will not backup hidden files. Use
           nohidden to turn off.

       timeout <per-operation timeout in seconds>
           This allows the user to tune the default timeout used for each SMB request.
           The default setting is 20 seconds. Increase it if requests to the server
           sometimes time out. This can happen when SMB3 encryption is selected and
           smbclient is overwhelming the server with requests.

       unlock <filenum> <hex-start> <hex-len>
           This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS UNIX extensions and
           will fail if the server does not. Tries to unlock a POSIX fcntl lock on the
           given range. Used for internal Samba testing purposes.

       volume
           Prints the current volume name of the share.

       vuid <number>
           Changes the currently used vuid in the protocol to the given arbitrary
           number. Without an argument prints out the current vuid being used. Used for
           internal Samba testing purposes.

       tcon <sharename>
           Establishes a new tree connect (connection to a share). Replaces the current
           tree connect. Prints the new tid (tree id). Used for internal Samba testing
           purposes.

       tdis
           Close the current share connection (tree disconnect). Used for internal
           Samba testing purposes.

       tid <number>
           Changes the current tree id (tid) in the protocol to a new arbitrary number.
           Without an argument, it prints out the tid currently used. Used for internal
           Samba testing purposes.

       utimes <filename> <create time> <access time> <write time> < change time>
           Changes the timestamps on a file by name. Times should be specified in the
           format YY:MM:DD-HH:MM:SS or -1 for no change.

NOTES
       Some servers are fussy about the case of supplied usernames, passwords, share
       names (AKA service names) and machine names. If you fail to connect try giving
       all parameters in uppercase.

       It is often necessary to use the -n option when connecting to some types of
       servers. For example OS/2 LanManager insists on a valid NetBIOS name being used,
       so you need to supply a valid name that would be known to the server.

       smbclient supports long file names where the server supports the LANMAN2
       protocol or above.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The variable USER may contain the username of the person using the client. This
       information is used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
       session-level passwords.

       The variable PASSWD may contain the password of the person using the client.
       This information is used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
       session-level passwords.

INSTALLATION
       The location of the client program is a matter for individual system
       administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.

       It is recommended that the smbclient software be installed in the
       /usr/local/samba/bin/ or /usr/samba/bin/ directory, this directory readable by
       all, writeable only by root. The client program itself should be executable by
       all. The client should NOT be setuid or setgid!

       The client log files should be put in a directory readable and writeable only by
       the user.

       To test the client, you will need to know the name of a running SMB/CIFS server.
       It is possible to run smbd(8) as an ordinary user - running that server as a
       daemon on a user-accessible port (typically any port number over 1024) would
       provide a suitable test server.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log file. The
       log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the command
       line.

       The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used
       by the client. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the log
       files.
