DESCRIPTION

17       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
18
19       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
23       The files should be in the smb-URL standard, e.g. use
24       smb://host/share/file for the UNC path \\\\HOST\\SHARE\\file.
