28.SH "DESCRIPTION"
29.PP
30This tool is part of the
31\fBsamba\fR(7)
32suite\&.
33.PP
34smbclient
35is a client that can \'talk\' to an SMB/CIFS server\&. It offers an interface similar to that of the ftp program (see
36\fBftp\fR(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\&.
37.SH "OPTIONS"
38.PP
39servicename
40.RS 4
41servicename is the name of the service you want to use on the server\&. A service name takes the form
42//server/service
43where
44\fIserver \fR
45is the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS server offering the desired service and
46\fIservice\fR
47is the name of the service offered\&. Thus to connect to the service "printer" on the SMB/CIFS server "smbserver", you would use the servicename
48//smbserver/printer
49.sp
50Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the IP (DNS) host name of the server ! The name required is a NetBIOS server name, which may or may not be the same as the IP hostname of the machine running the server\&.
51.sp
52The server name is looked up according to either the
53\fI\-R\fR
54parameter to
55smbclient
56or using the name resolve order parameter in the
57\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)
58file, allowing an administrator to change the order and methods by which server names are looked up\&.
59.RE
60.PP
61password
62.RS 4
63The password required to access the specified service on the specified server\&. If this parameter is supplied, the
64\fI\-N\fR
65option (suppress password prompt) is assumed\&.
66.sp
67There is no default password\&. If no password is supplied on the command line (either by using this parameter or adding a password to the
68\fI\-U\fR
69option (see below)) and the
70\fI\-N\fR
71option 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\&.)
72.sp
73Note: 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\&.
74.sp
75Be cautious about including passwords in scripts\&.
76.RE
77.PP
78\-R|\-\-name\-resolve <name resolve order>
79.RS 4
80This option is used by the programs in the Samba suite to determine what naming services and in what order to resolve host names to IP addresses\&. The option takes a space\-separated string of different name resolution options\&.
81.sp
82The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast"\&. They cause names to be resolved as follows:
83.sp
84.RS 4
85.ie n \{\
86\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
87.\}
88.el \{\
89.sp -1
90.IP \(bu 2.3
91.\}
92\fBlmhosts\fR: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file\&. If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the NetBIOS name (see the
93\fBlmhosts\fR(5)
94for details) then any name type matches for lookup\&.
