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.

BUGS

108       Permission denied is returned in some cases  where  the  cause  of  the
109       error  is  unknown (such as an illegally formatted smb:// url or trying
