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

     -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.

         Be quiet

     -v, --verbose
         Be verbose

         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/

VERSION
     This man page is correct for version 3.0 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 for Samba is available on http:/opensolaris.org.

     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       Apr21   svc:/network/samba:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/winbind:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/wins:default
         disabled       Apr21   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 HTP 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.
