17 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
18 smbget is a simple utility with wget-like semantics, that can download
20 files from SMB servers. You can specify the files you would like to
21 download on the command-line.
22 The files should be in the smb-URL standard, e.g. use
24 smb://host/share/file for the UNC path \\\\HOST\\SHARE\\file.

81 -e|--encrypt
83 This command line parameter requires the remote server support the
84 UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
85 Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB
86 encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses
87 the given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either
88 kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple.
89 Fails the connection if encryption cannot be negotiated.
90
92 SMB URL's should be specified in the following format:
93 smb://[[[domain;]user[:password@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]]
95 smb:// means all the workgroups
97 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.

119 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
120 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
121 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
122 The smbget manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij.
