It offers -an interface similar to that of the -.B ftp -program (see -.BR 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. -.SH OPTIONS -.B servicename -.RS 3 -.B servicename -is the name of the service you want to use on the server. A service -name takes the form -.B "\e\eserver\eservice" -where -.B server -is the netbios name of the Lan Manager server offering the desired service and -.B service -is the name of the service offered. Thus to connect to the service "printer" -on the Lan Manager server "lanman", you would use the servicename - -.RS 10 -.B "\e\elanman\eprinter" -.RE - -Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the host name of the -server! The name required is a Lan Manager server name, which may or may not -be the same as the hostname of the machine running the server. -.RE - -.B password -.RS 3 -.B -password -is the password required to access the specified service on the -specified server. If supplied, the -.B \-N -option (suppress password prompt) is assumed. - -There is no default password. If no password is supplied on the command line -(either here or using the -.B \-U -option (see below)) and -.B \-N -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. -.RE - -.B \-A - -.RS 3 -This parameter, if specified, causes the maximum debug level to be selected. -Be warned that this generates prodigious amounts of debug data. There is also -a security issue involved, as at the maximum debug level cleartext passwords -may be written to some log files. -.RE - -.B \-L - -.RS 3 -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 -.B \-I -option may be useful if your netbios names don't match your -tcp/ip host names or if you are trying to reach a host on another -network. For example: - -smbclient -L ftp -I ftp.microsoft.com - -will list the shares available on Microsoft's public server. -.RE - -.B \-M - -.RS 3 -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 cat the message through -.BR smbclient . -For example: - -cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED - -will send the message in the file "mymessage.txt" to the machine FRED. - -You may also find the -.B \-U -and -.B \-I -options useful, as they allow you to -control the FROM and TO parts of the message. - -See the message command section of -.BR 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. -.RE - -.B \-E - -.RS 3 -This parameter, if specified, 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. -.RE - -.B \-I -.I IP number - -.RS 3 -.I IP number -represents the IP number of the server to connect to. It should -be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation. - -Normally the client will attempt to locate the specified Lan Manager server -by looking it up - that is, broadcasting a request for the given server to -identify itself. Using this parameter will force the client to assume that -the server is on the machine with the specified IP number. - -There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be determined -automatically by the client as described above. -.RE - -.B \-N - -.RS 3 -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. -.RE - -.B \-O -.I socket options - -.RS 3 -See the socket options section of -.BR smb.conf (5) -for details. -.RE - -.B \-P - -.RS 3 -If specified, the service requested will be connected to as a printer service -rather than as a normal filespace service. Operations such as put and get -will not be applicable for such a connection. - -By default, services will be connected to as NON-printer services. -.RE - -.B \-U -.I username - -.RS 3 -.I username -is the user name that will be used by the client to make a connection, -assuming your server is running a protocol that allows for usernames. - -Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist -that it must be a valid netbios name. - -If no -.I username -is supplied, it will default to an uppercase version of the -environment variable -.B USER -or -.B LOGNAME -in that order. -If no -.I username -is supplied and neither environment variable exists the user name will -be empty. - -If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be supplied -using the -.B \-U -option, by appending a percent symbol ("%") then the password to -.I username. -For example, to attach to a service as user "fred" with password "secret", you -would specify -.B \-U -.I fred%secret -on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent symbol. - -If you specify the password as part of -.I username -then the -.B \-N -option (suppress password prompt) is assumed. - -If you specify the password as a parameter AND as part of -.I username -then the password as part of -.I 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. - -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. -.RE - -.B \-d -.I debuglevel - -.RS 3 -debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 5. - -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. -.RE - -.B \-l -.I log basename - -.RS 3 -If specified, -.I log basename -specifies a base filename into which operational data from the running client -will be logged. - -The default base name is specified at compile time. - -The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, if the -name specified was "log", the following files would be used for log data: - -.RS 3 -log.client.debug (containing debugging information) - -log.client.in (containing inbound transaction data) - -log.client.out (containing outbound transaction data) -.RE - -The log files generated are never removed by the client. -.RE - -.B \-n -.I netbios name - -.RS 3 -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. -.RE - -.B \-W -.I workgroup - -.RS 3 -Override what workgroup is used for the connection. This may be needed -to connect to some servers. -.RE - -.B \-p -.I port number - -.RS 3 -port number is a positive integer value. - -The default value if this parameter is not specified is 139. - -This number is the port number that will be used when making connections to -the server. The standard (well-known) port number for the server is 139, -hence the default. - -This parameter is not normally specified. -.RE - -.B \-T -.I tar options - -.RS 3 -where -.I tar options -consists of one or more of -.BR c , -.BR x , -.BR I , -.BR X , -.BR b , -.BR g , -.BR N -or -.BR a ; -used as: -.LP -smbclient -.B "\e\eserver\eshare" -\-TcxIXbgNa -[ -.IR blocksize -] -[ -.IR newer-file -] -.IR tarfile -[ -.IR filenames.... -] - -.RS 3 -.B c -Create a tar file on UNIX. Must be followed by the name of a tar file, -tape device or "\-" for standard output. (May be useful to set debugging -low -.RB ( -d0 )) -to avoid corrupting your tar file if using "\-"). Mutually -exclusive with the -.B x -flag. - -.B x -Extract (restore) a local tar file back to a share. Unless the -.B \-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 -.B c -flag. - -.B I -Include files and directories. Is the default behaviour when -.IR 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 does not work for included files for extractions (yet). - -.B X -Exclude files and directories. Causes tar files to be excluded from -an extract or create. See example below. -Filename globbing does not work for excluded files (yet). - -.B b -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. - -.B g -Incremental. Only back up files that have the archive bit set. Useful -only with the -.B c -flag. - -.B 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 -.B c -flag. - -.B a -Set archive bit. Causes the archive bit to be reset when a file is backed -up. Useful with the -.B g -(and -.BR c ) -flags. -.LP - -.B Examples - -smbclient \e\emypc\emyshare "" -N -Tx backup.tar - -Restore from tar file backup.tar into myshare on mypc (no password on share). - -smbclient \e\emypc\emyshare "" -N -TXx backup.tar users/docs - -Restore everything except users/docs - -smbclient \e\emypc\emyshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users/docs - -Create a tar file of the files beneath users/docs. -.RE -.RE - -.B \-D -.I initial directory - -.RS 3 -Change to initial directory before starting. Probably only of any use -with the tar -.RB ( \-T ) -option. -.RE - -.B \-c -.I command string - -.RS 3 -command string is a semicolon separated list of commands to be -executed instead of prompting from stdin. -.B \-N -is implied by -.BR \-c . - -This is particularly useful in scripts and for printing stdin to -the server, e.g. \-c 'print \-'. -.RE -.SH OPERATIONS -Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt, "smb: \e>". -The backslash ("\e") 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 (eg., "[parameter]") are optional. If not -given, the command will use suitable defaults. Parameters shown in angle -brackets (eg., "<parameter>") are required. - -Note that all commands operating on the server are actually performed by -issuing a request to the server. Thus the behaviour may vary from server to -server, depending on how the server was implemented. - -The commands available are given here in alphabetical order. - -.B ? -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I [command] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -If -.I command -is specified, the -.B ? -command will display a brief informative message about the specified command. - -If no command is specified, a list of available commands will be displayed. -.RE -.RE - -.B ! -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I [shell command] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -If -.I shell command -is specified, the -.B ! -command will execute a shell locally and run the specified shell command. If -no command is specified, a shell will be run. -.RE -.RE - -.B cd -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I [directory name] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -If -.I directory name -is specified, the current working directory -.B 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 -.B on the server -will be reported. -.RE -.RE - -.B del -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -The client will request that the server attempt to delete all files matching -.I mask -from the current working directory -.B on the server. -.RE -.RE - -.B dir -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -A list of the files matching -.I mask -in the current working directory -.B on the server -will be retrieved from the server and displayed. -.RE -.RE - -.B exit -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Terminate the connection with the server and exit from the program. -.RE -.RE - -.B get -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <remote file name> [local file name] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Copy the file called -.I remote file name -from the server to the machine running the client. If specified, name the -local copy -.I local file name. -Note that all transfers in -.B smbclient -are binary. See also the -.B lowercase -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B help -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I [command] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -See the -.B ? -command above. -.RE -.RE - -.B lcd -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I [directory name] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -If -.I directory name -is specified, the current working directory -.B 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 -.B on the local machine -will be reported. -.RE -.RE - -.B lowercase -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Toggle lowercasing of filenames for the -.B get -and -.B mget -commands. - -When lowercasing is toggled ON, local filenames are converted to lowercase -when using the -.B get -and -.B mget -commands. This is often useful when copying (say) MSDOS files from a server, -because lowercase filenames are the norm on UNIX systems. -.RE -.RE - -.B ls -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -See the -.B dir -command above. -.RE -.RE - -.B mask -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -This command allows the user to set up a mask which will be used during -recursive operation of the -.B mget -and -.B mput -commands. - -The masks specified to the -.B mget -and -.B mput -commands act as filters for directories -rather than files when recursion is toggled ON. - -The mask specified with the -.B mask -command is necessary to filter files within those directories. For example, -if the mask specified in an -.B mget -command is "source*" -.I and -the mask specified with the -.B mask -command is "*.c" -.I and -recursion is toggled ON, the -.B 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 -.I mask -defaults to blank (equivalent to "*") and remains so until the -.B 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 -.B mget -or -.B mput -commands. -.RE -.RE - -.B md -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <directory name> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -See the -.B mkdir -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B mget -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Copy all files matching -.I mask -from the server to the machine running the client. - -Note that -.I mask -is interpreted differently during recursive operation and non-recursive -operation - refer to the -.B recurse -and -.B mask -commands for more information. Note that all transfers in -.B smbclient -are binary. See also the -.B lowercase -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B mkdir -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <directory name> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Create a new directory -.B on the server -(user access privileges permitting) with the specified name. -.RE -.RE - -.B mput -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Copy all files matching -.I mask -in the current working directory -.B on the local machine -to the current working directory on the server. - -Note that -.I mask -is interpreted differently during recursive operation and non-recursive -operation - refer to the -.B recurse -and -.B mask -commands for more information. Note that all transfers in -.B smbclient -are binary. -.RE -.RE - -.B print -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <file name> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Print the specified file -.B from the local machine -through a printable service on the server. - -See also the -.B printmode -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B printmode -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <graphics or text> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Set the print mode to suit either binary data (such as graphical information) -or text. Subsequent -.B print -commands will use the currently set print mode. -.RE -.RE - -.B prompt -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Toggle prompting for filenames during operation of the -.B mget -and -.B 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. -.RE -.RE - -.B put -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <local file name> [remote file name] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Copy the file called -.I local file name -from the machine running the client to the server. If specified, name the -remote copy -.I remote file name. -Note that all transfers in -.B smbclient -are binary. See also the -.B lowercase -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B queue -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Displays the print queue, showing the job id, name, size and current status. -.RE -.RE - -.B quit -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -See the -.B exit -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B rd -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <directory name> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -See the -.B rmdir -command. -.RE -.RE - -.B recurse -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -None. - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Toggle directory recursion for the commands -.B mget -and -.BR mput . - -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 -.B mask -command will be retrieved. See also the -.B 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 -.B mget -or -.B mput -commands will be copied, and any mask specified using the -.B mask -command will be ignored. -.RE -.RE - -.B rm -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <mask> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Remove all files matching -.I mask -from the current working directory -.B on the server. -.RE -.RE - -.B rmdir -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <directory name> - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Remove the specified directory (user access privileges permitting) -.B from the server. -.RE -.RE - -.B tar -.RS 3 -.B Parameters: -.RS 3 -.I <c|x>[IXbgNa] - -.RE -.B Description: -.RS 3 -Performs a tar operation - see the -.B \-T -command line option above. Behaviour -may be affected by the -.B 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. -.RE -.RE - -.B blocksize -.RS 3 -.B Parameters -.RS 3 -.I <blocksize> - -.RE -.B Description -.RS 3 -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. -.RE -.RE - -.B tarmode -.RS 3 -.B Parameters -.RS 3 -.I <full|inc|reset|noreset> - -.RE -.B Description -.RS 3 -Changes tar's behaviour 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). -.RE -.RE - -.B setmode -.RS 3 -.B Parameters -.RS 3 -.I <filename> <perm=[+|\-]rsha> - -.RE -.B Description -.RS 3 -A version of the DOS attrib command to set file permissions. For example, - -setmode myfile +r - -would make myfile read only. -.RE -.RE -.SH 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 -.B \-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. - -.B smbclient -supports long file names where the server supports the LANMAN2 -protocol. -.SH FILES -Not applicable. -.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES -.B USER -.RS 3 -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. -.RE -.SH 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 client software be installed under the -/usr/local/samba -hierarchy, in a 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 writable only -by the user. - -To test the client, you will need to know the name of a running Lan manager -server. It is possible to run -.B smbd -(see -.BR 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. -.SH VERSION -This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some -of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind -development of the client software, so it is possible that your version of -the client has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not -covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for -rectification. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR smbd (8) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -[This section under construction] - -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. - -Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately, at time of -creation of this man page the source code is still too fluid to warrant -describing each and every diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still -to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the -diagnostics you are seeing. -.SH BUGS -None known. -.SH CREDITS -The original Samba software and related utilities were created by -Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Andrew is also the Keeper -of the Source for this project. - -See -.BR smb.conf (5) -for a full list of contributors and details on how to -submit bug reports, comments etc. |
