It -offers an interface similar to that of the ftp program (see <strong>ftp -(1)</strong>). 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. -<p><br><a name="OPTIONS"></a> -<h2>OPTIONS</h2> - -<p><br><ul> -<p><br><a name="servicename"></a> -<li><strong><strong>servicename</strong></strong> servicename is the name of the service you want -to use on the server. A service name takes the form -<code>//server/service</code> where <em>server</em> is the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS -server offering the desired service and <em>service</em> is the name -of the service offered. Thus to connect to the service <em>printer</em> on -the SMB/CIFS server <em>smbserver</em>, you would use the servicename -<p><br><code>//smbserver/printer</code> -<p><br>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. -<p><br>The server name is looked up according to either the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#minusR"><strong>-R</strong></a> parameter to <strong>smbclient</strong> or using the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder"><strong>name resolve order</strong></a> -parameter in the smb.conf file, allowing an administrator to change -the order and methods by which server names are looked up. -<p><br><a name="password"></a> -<li><strong><strong>password</strong></strong> password is the password required to access the -specified service on the specified server. If this parameter is -supplied, the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusN"><strong>-N</strong></a> option (suppress password prompt) is assumed. -<p><br>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 <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusU"><strong>-U</strong></a> option (see below)) and the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusN"><strong>-N</strong></a> 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.) -<p><br>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. -<p><br>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. -<p><br><a name="minuss"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-s smb.conf</strong></strong> This parameter specifies the pathname to the -Samba configuration file, smb.conf. This file controls all aspects of -the Samba setup on the machine and smbclient also needs to read this -file. -<p><br><a name="minusO"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-O socket options</strong></strong> TCP socket options to set on the client -socket. See the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#socketoptions">socket options</a> -parameter in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf (5)</strong></a> manpage for -the list of valid options. -<p><br><a name="minusR"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-R name resolve order</strong></strong> This option allows the user of -smbclient to determine what name resolution services to use when -looking up the NetBIOS name of the host being connected to. -<p><br>The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause -names to be resolved as follows : -<p><br><ul> -<p><br><li > <strong>lmhosts</strong> : Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. -The lmhosts file is stored in the same directory as the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file. -<p><br><li > <strong>host</strong> : 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 depended for instance on IRIX or -Solaris this may be controlled by the <em>/etc/nsswitch.conf</em> file). -<p><br><li > <strong>wins</strong> : Query a name with the IP address listed in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#winsserver"><strong>wins -server</strong></a> parameter in the smb.conf file. If -no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored. -<p><br><li > <strong>bcast</strong> : Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces -listed in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#interfaces"><strong>interfaces</strong></a> parameter -in the smb.conf file. This is the least reliable of the name resolution -methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected -subnet. -<p><br></ul> -<p><br>If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined -in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file parameter -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder">(<strong>name resolve order</strong>)</a> -will be used. -<p><br>The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this -parameter or any entry in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder"><strong>"name resolve -order"</strong></a> parameter of the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file the name resolution methods -will be attempted in this order. -<p><br><a name="minusM"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-M NetBIOS name</strong></strong> 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. -<p><br>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. -<p><br>The message is also automatically truncated if the message is over -1600 bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol. -<p><br>One useful trick is to cat the message through <strong>smbclient</strong>. -For example: -<p><br><code>cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED</code> -<p><br>will send the message in the file <em>mymessage.txt</em> to the machine FRED. -<p><br>You may also find the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusU"><strong>-U</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusI"><strong>-I</strong></a> options useful, as they allow -you to control the FROM and TO parts of the message. -<p><br>See the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#messagecommand"><strong>message command</strong></a> -parameter in the <strong>smb.conf (5)</strong> for a description of how to handle -incoming WinPopup messages in Samba. -<p><br>Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if you -want them to always be able to receive messages. -<p><br><a name="minusi"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-i scope</strong></strong> This specifies a NetBIOS scope that smbclient 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 <em>very</em> rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the -system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you -communicate with. -<p><br><a name="minusN"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-N</strong></strong> 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. -<p><br>Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter -is specified, the client will request a password. -<p><br><a name="minusn"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-n NetBIOS name</strong></strong> By default, the client will use the local -machine's hostname (in uppercase) as its NetBIOS name. This parameter -allows you to override the host name and use whatever NetBIOS name you -wish. -<p><br><a name="minusd"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-d debuglevel</strong></strong> debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10, or the -letter 'A'. -<p><br>The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero. -<p><br>The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files -about the activities of the client. 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. -<p><br>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. If debuglevel is set to the -letter 'A', then <em>all</em> debug messages will be printed. This setting -is for developers only (and people who <em>really</em> want to know how the -code works internally). -<p><br>Note that specifying this parameter here will override the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#loglevel"><strong>log -level</strong></a> parameter in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf -(5)</strong></a> file. -<p><br><a name="minusP"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-P</strong></strong> This option is no longer used. The code in Samba2.0 -now lets the server decide the device type, so no printer specific -flag is needed. -<p><br><a name="minusp"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-p port</strong></strong> 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. -<p><br><a name="minusl"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-l logfilename</strong></strong> If specified, logfilename specifies a base -filename into which operational data from the running client will be -logged. -<p><br>The default base name is specified at compile time. -<p><br>The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, -if the name specified was "log", the debug file would be -<code>log.client</code>. -<p><br>The log file generated is never removed by the client. -<p><br><a name="minush"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-h</strong></strong> Print the usage message for the client. -<p><br><a name="minusI"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-I IP address</strong></strong> IP address is the address of the server to -connect to. It should be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation. -<p><br>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 <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusR"><strong>name resolve order</strong></a> 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. -<p><br>There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be -determined automatically by the client as described above. -<p><br><a name="minusE"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-E</strong></strong> This parameter causes the client to write messages to the -standard error stream (stderr) rather than to the standard output -stream. -<p><br>By default, the client writes messages to standard output - typically -the user's tty. -<p><br><a name="minusU"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-U username</strong></strong> This specifies the user name that will be used by -the client to make a connection, assuming your server is not a downlevel -server that is running a protocol level that uses passwords on shares, -not on usernames. -<p><br>Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist -that it must be a valid NetBIOS name. -<p><br>If no username is supplied, it will default to an uppercase version of -the environment variable <code>USER</code> or <code>LOGNAME</code> in that order. If no -username is supplied and neither environment variable exists the -username "GUEST" will be used. -<p><br>If the <code>USER</code> environment variable contains a '%' character, -everything after that will be treated as a password. This allows you -to set the environment variable to be <code>USER=username%password</code> so -that a password is not passed on the command line (where it may be -seen by the ps command). -<p><br>If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be -supplied using the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusU"><strong>-U</strong></a> option, by appending a percent symbol ("%") -then the password to username. For example, to attach to a service as -user <code>"fred"</code> with password <code>"secret"</code>, you would specify. <br> -<p><br><code>-U fred%secret</code> <br> -<p><br>on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent -symbol. -<p><br>You can specify a domain name as part of the username by using a username of the form "DOMAIN/user" or "DOMAIN\user". -<p><br>If you specify the password as part of username then the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusN"><strong>-N</strong></a> option -(suppress password prompt) is assumed. -<p><br>If you specify the password as a parameter <em>AND</em> as part of username -then the password as part of username will take precedence. Putting -nothing before or nothing after the percent symbol will cause an empty -username or an empty password to be used, respectively. -<p><br>The password may also be specified by setting up an environment -variable called <code>PASSWD</code> that contains the users password. Note -that this may be very insecure on some systems but on others allows -users to script smbclient commands without having a password appear in -the command line of a process listing. -<p><br>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 doesn't desire 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 <strong>-A</strong> for more details. -<p><br>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. -<p><br>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the -<code>PASSWD</code> environment variable. Also, on many systems the command -line of a running process may be seen via the <code>ps</code> command to be -safe always allow smbclient to prompt for a password and type it in -directly. -<p><br><a name="minusA"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-A <filename></strong></strong> 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 -<p><br><code>username = <value></code> <br> -<code>password = <value</code> <br> -<p><br>Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from -unwanted users. -<p><br><a name="minusL"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-L</strong></strong> This option allows you to look at what services are -available on a server. You use it as <code>"smbclient -L host"</code> and a -list should appear. The <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusI"><strong>-I</strong></a> 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. -<p><br><a name="minust"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-t terminal code</strong></strong> This option tells smbclient how to interpret -filenames coming from the remote server. Usually Asian language -multibyte UNIX implementations use different character sets than -SMB/CIFS servers (<em>EUC</em> instead of <em>SJIS</em> for example). Setting -this parameter will let smbclient convert between the UNIX filenames -and the SMB filenames correctly. This option has not been seriously -tested and may have some problems. -<p><br>The terminal codes include <code>sjis</code>, <code>euc</code>, <code>jis7</code>, <code>jis8</code>, -<code>junet</code>, <code>hex</code>, <code>cap</code>. This is not a complete list, check the -Samba source code for the complete list. -<p><br><a name="minusm"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-m max protocol level</strong></strong> With the new code in Samba2.0, -<strong>smbclient</strong> always attempts to connect at the maximum -protocols level the server supports. This parameter is -preserved for backwards compatibility, but any string -following the <strong>-m</strong> will be ignored. -<p><br><a name="minusb"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-b buffersize</strong></strong> This option changes the transmit/send buffer -size when getting or putting a file from/to the server. The default -is 65520 bytes. Setting this value smaller (to 1200 bytes) has been -observed to speed up file transfers to and from a Win9x server. -<p><br><a name="minusW"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-W WORKGROUP</strong></strong> Override the default workgroup specified in the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#workgroup"><strong>workgroup</strong></a> parameter of the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file for this connection. This may -be needed to connect to some servers. -<p><br><a name="minusT"></a> <li><strong><strong>-T tar options</strong></strong> smbclient may be used to create -<strong>tar (1)</strong> compatible backups of all the files on an SMB/CIFS -share. The secondary tar flags that can be given to this option are : -<p><br><ul> -<p><br><li><strong><strong>c</strong></strong> Create a tar file on UNIX. Must be followed by the - name of a tar file, tape device or <code>"-"</code> for standard output. If - using standard output you must turn the log level to its lowest value - <code>-d0</code> to avoid corrupting your tar file. This flag is - mutually exclusive with the <strong>x</strong> flag. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>x</strong></strong> Extract (restore) a local tar file back to a - share. Unless the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusD"><strong>-D</strong></a> 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 <code>"-"</code> for standard input. Mutually exclusive - with the <strong>c</strong> 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. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>I</strong></strong> Include files and directories. Is the default - behavior when filenames are specified above. Causes tar 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 <strong>r</strong> below. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>X</strong></strong> Exclude files and directories. Causes tar files to - be excluded from an extract or create. See example below. Filename - globbing works in one of two ways now. See <strong>r</strong> below. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>b</strong></strong> Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater than - zero) blocksize. Causes tar file to be written out in - blocksize*TBLOCK (usually 512 byte) blocks. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>g</strong></strong> Incremental. Only back up files that have the - archive bit set. Useful only with the <strong>c</strong> flag. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>q</strong></strong> Quiet. Keeps tar from printing diagnostics as it - works. This is the same as tarmode quiet. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>r</strong></strong> Regular expression include or exclude. Uses regular - regular expression matching for excluding or excluding files if - compiled with HAVE_REGEX_H. However this mode can be very slow. If - not compiled with HAVE_REGEX_H, does a limited wildcard match on * and - ?. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>N</strong></strong> 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 <strong>c</strong> flag. -<p><br><li><strong><strong>a</strong></strong> Set archive bit. Causes the archive bit to be reset - when a file is backed up. Useful with the <strong>g</strong> and <strong>c</strong> flags. -<p><br></ul> -<p><br><em>Tar Long File Names</em> -<p><br>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. -<p><br><em>Tar Filenames</em> -<p><br>All file names can be given as DOS path names (with <code>\</code> as the -component separator) or as UNIX path names (with <code>/</code> as the -component separator). -<p><br><em>Examples</em> -<p><br><ul> -<p><br><li > Restore from tar file backup.tar into myshare on mypc (no password on share). -<p><br><code>smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tx backup.tar</code> -<p><br><li > Restore everything except users/docs -<p><br><code>smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -TXx backup.tar users/docs</code> -<p><br><li > Create a tar file of the files beneath users/docs. -<p><br><code>smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users/docs</code> -<p><br><li > Create the same tar file as above, but now use a DOS path name. -<p><br><code>smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -tc backup.tar users\edocs</code> -<p><br><li > Create a tar file of all the files and directories in the share. -<p><br><code>smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar *</code> -<p><br></ul> -<p><br><a name="minusD"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-D initial directory</strong></strong> Change to initial directory before -starting. Probably only of any use with the tar <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusT"><strong>-T</strong></a> option. -<p><br><a name="minusc"></a> -<li><strong><strong>-c command string</strong></strong> command string is a semicolon separated -list of commands to be executed instead of prompting from stdin. -<a href="smbclient.1.html#minusN"><strong>-N</strong></a> is implied by <strong>-c</strong>. -<p><br>This is particularly useful in scripts and for printing stdin to the -server, e.g. <code>-c 'print -'</code>. -<p><br></ul> -<p><br><a name="OPERATIONS"></a> -<h2>OPERATIONS</h2> - -<p><br>Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt : -<p><br><code>smb:\></code> -<p><br>The backslash ("\") indicates the current working directory on the -server, and will change if the current working directory is changed. -<p><br>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. -<p><br>You can specify file names which have spaces in them by quoting the -name with double quotes, for example "a long file name". -<p><br>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. -<p><br>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. -<p><br>The commands available are given here in alphabetical order. -<p><br><ul> -<p><br><a name="questionmark"></a> <li><strong><strong>? [command]</strong></strong> If "command" is specified, -the <strong>?</strong> command will display a brief informative message about the -specified command. If no command is specified, a list of available -commands will be displayed. -<p><br><a name="exclaimationmark"></a> <li><strong><strong>! [shell command]</strong></strong> If "shell command" -is specified, the <strong>!</strong> command will execute a shell locally and run -the specified shell command. If no command is specified, a local shell -will be run. -<p><br><a name="cd"></a> <li><strong><strong>cd [directory name]</strong></strong> 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. -<p><br>If no directory name is specified, the current working directory on -the server will be reported. -<p><br><a name="del"></a> <li><strong><strong>del <mask></strong></strong> The client will request that the server -attempt to delete all files matching "mask" from the current working -directory on the server. -<p><br><a name="dir"></a> <li><strong><strong>dir <mask></strong></strong> A list of the files matching "mask" in -the current working directory on the server will be retrieved from the -server and displayed. -<p><br><a name="exit"></a> <li><strong><strong>exit</strong></strong> Terminate the connection with the server and -exit from the program. -<p><br><a name="get"></a> <li><strong><strong>get <remote file name> [local file name]</strong></strong> 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 -<a href="smbclient.1.html#lowercase"><strong>lowercase</strong></a> command. -<p><br><a name="help"></a> <li><strong><strong>help [command]</strong></strong> See the <a href="smbclient.1.html#questionmark"><strong>?</strong></a> -command above. -<p><br><a name="lcd"></a> <li><strong><strong>lcd [directory name]</strong></strong> 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. -<p><br>If no directory name is specified, the name of the current working -directory on the local machine will be reported. -<p><br><a name="lowercase"></a> <li><strong><strong>lowercase</strong></strong> Toggle lowercasing of filenames -for the <a href="smbclient.1.html#get"><strong>get</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> commands. -<p><br>When lowercasing is toggled ON, local filenames are converted to -lowercase when using the <a href="smbclient.1.html#get"><strong>get</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> -commands. This is often useful when copying (say) MSDOS files from a -server, because lowercase filenames are the norm on UNIX systems. -<p><br><a name="ls"></a> <li><strong><strong>ls <mask></strong></strong> See the <a href="smbclient.1.html#dir"><strong>dir</strong></a> command above. -<p><br><a name="mask"></a> <li><strong><strong>mask <mask></strong></strong> This command allows the user to set -up a mask which will be used during recursive operation of the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a> commands. -<p><br>The masks specified to the <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> and -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a> commands act as filters for directories rather -than files when recursion is toggled ON. -<p><br>The mask specified with the .B mask command is necessary to filter -files within those directories. For example, if the mask specified in -an <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> command is "source*" and the mask specified -with the mask command is "*.c" and recursion is toggled ON, the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> command will retrieve all files matching "*.c" in -all directories below and including all directories matching "source*" -in the current working directory. -<p><br>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 .I mask back to "*" -after using the <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> or <a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a> commands. -<p><br><a name="md"></a> <li><strong><strong>md <directory name></strong></strong> See the <a href="smbclient.1.html#mkdir"><strong>mkdir</strong></a> -command. -<p><br><a name="mget"></a> <li><strong><strong>mget <mask></strong></strong> Copy all files matching mask from the -server to the machine running the client. -<p><br>Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation -and non-recursive operation - refer to the <a href="smbclient.1.html#recurse"><strong>recurse</strong></a> -and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mask"><strong>mask</strong></a> commands for more information. Note that all -transfers in .B smbclient are binary. See also the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#lowercase"><strong>lowercase</strong></a> command. -<p><br><a name="mkdir"></a> <li><strong><strong>mkdir <directory name></strong></strong> Create a new directory on -the server (user access privileges permitting) with the specified -name. -<p><br><a name="mput"></a> <li><strong><strong>mput <mask></strong></strong> Copy all files matching mask in -the current working directory on the local machine to the current -working directory on the server. -<p><br>Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation -and non-recursive operation - refer to the <a href="smbclient.1.html#recurse"><strong>recurse</strong></a> -and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mask"><strong>mask</strong></a> commands for more information. Note that all -transfers in .B smbclient are binary. -<p><br><a name="print"></a> <li><strong><strong>print <file name></strong></strong> Print the specified file -from the local machine through a printable service on the server. -<p><br>See also the <a href="smbclient.1.html#printmode"><strong>printmode</strong></a> command. -<p><br><a name="printmode"></a> <li><strong><strong>printmode <graphics or text></strong></strong> Set the print -mode to suit either binary data (such as graphical information) or -text. Subsequent print commands will use the currently set print -mode. -<p><br><a name="prompt"></a> <li><strong><strong>prompt</strong></strong> Toggle prompting for filenames during -operation of the <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a> -commands. -<p><br>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. -<p><br><a name="put"></a> <li><strong><strong>put <local file name> [remote file name]</strong></strong> 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 -<a href="smbclient.1.html#lowercase"><strong>lowercase</strong></a> command. -<p><br><a name="queue"></a> <li><strong><strong>queue</strong></strong> Displays the print queue, showing the job -id, name, size and current status. -<p><br><a name="quit"></a> <li><strong><strong>quit</strong></strong> See the <a href="smbclient.1.html#exit"><strong>exit</strong></a> command. -<p><br><a name="rd"></a> <li><strong><strong>rd <directory name></strong></strong> See the <a href="smbclient.1.html#rmdir"><strong>rmdir</strong></a> -command. -<p><br><a name="recurse"></a> <li><strong><strong>recurse</strong></strong> Toggle directory recursion for the -commands <a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> and <a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a>. -<p><br>When toggled ON, these commands will process all directories in the -source directory (i.e., the directory they are copying .IR from ) and -will recurse into any that match the mask specified to the -command. Only files that match the mask specified using the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mask"><strong>mask</strong></a> command will be retrieved. See also the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mask"><strong>mask</strong></a> command. -<p><br>When recursion is toggled OFF, only files from the current working -directory on the source machine that match the mask specified to the -<a href="smbclient.1.html#mget"><strong>mget</strong></a> or <a href="smbclient.1.html#mput"><strong>mput</strong></a> commands will be copied, -and any mask specified using the <a href="smbclient.1.html#mask"><strong>mask</strong></a> command will be -ignored. -<p><br><a name="rm"></a> <li><strong><strong>rm <mask></strong></strong> Remove all files matching mask from -the current working directory on the server. -<p><br><a name="rmdir"></a> <li><strong><strong>rmdir <directory name></strong></strong> Remove the specified -directory (user access privileges permitting) from the server. -<p><br><a name="tar"></a> <li><strong><strong>tar <c|x>[IXbgNa]</strong></strong> Performs a tar operation - see -the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusT"><strong>-T</strong></a> command line option above. Behavior may be -affected by the <a href="smbclient.1.html#tarmode"><strong>tarmode</strong></a> 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. -<p><br><a name="blocksize"></a> <li><strong><strong>blocksize <blocksize></strong></strong> Blocksize. Must be -followed by a valid (greater than zero) blocksize. Causes tar file to -be written out in blocksize*TBLOCK (usually 512 byte) blocks. -<p><br><a name="tarmode"></a> <li><strong><strong>tarmode <full|inc|reset|noreset></strong></strong> Changes tar's -behavior with regard to archive bits. In full mode, tar will back up -everything regardless of the archive bit setting (this is the default -mode). In incremental mode, tar will only back up files with the -archive bit set. In reset mode, tar will reset the archive bit on all -files it backs up (implies read/write share). -<p><br><a name="setmode"></a> <li><strong><strong>setmode <filename> <perm=[+|\-]rsha></strong></strong> A version -of the DOS attrib command to set file permissions. For example: -<p><br><code>setmode myfile +r</code> -<p><br>would make myfile read only. -<p><br></ul> -<p><br><a name="NOTES"></a> -<h2>NOTES</h2> - -<p><br>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. -<p><br>It is often necessary to use the <a href="smbclient.1.html#minusn"><strong>-n</strong></a> 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. -<p><br>smbclient supports long file names where the server supports the -LANMAN2 protocol or above. -<p><br><a name="ENVIRONMENTVARIABLES"></a> -<h2>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</h2> - -<p><br>The variable <strong>USER</strong> may contain the username of the person using the -client.
