Specifies the location of the all - important smb.conf(5) file.
TCP socket options to set on the client - socket. See the socket options parameter in - the smb.conf(5) manual page for the list of valid - options.
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 very rarely used, only set - this parameter if you are the system administrator in charge of all - the NetBIOS systems you communicate with.
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.
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.
debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10, or - the letter 'A'.
The default value if this parameter is not specified - is zero.
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.
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 all - debug messages will be printed. This setting - is for developers only (and people who really want - to know how the code works internally).
Note that specifying this parameter here will override - the log level parameter in the smb.conf (5) - file.
Print the usage message for the client.
Print a summary of command line options.Sets the SMB username or username and password.
- If %pass 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. Anything in these variables following a '%'
- sign will be treated as the password. If these environment
- variables are not found, the username GUEST
- is used.
If the password is not included in these environment - variables (using the %pass syntax), smbclient will look for - a PASSWD environment variable from which - to read the password.
A third option is to use a credentials file which - contains the plaintext of the domain name, username and password. This - option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin doesn't - 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 or in - the PASSWD environment variable. Also, on - many systems the command line of a running process may be seen - via the ps command to be safe always allow - smbclient to prompt for a password and type - it in directly.
This option allows - you to specify a file from which to read the username, domain name, and - password used in the connection. The format of the file is -
username = <value> -password = <value> -domain = <value>
If the domain parameter is missing the current workgroup name - is used instead. Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict - access from unwanted users.
