DESCRIPTION

     can download files from SMB servers. You can specify the
     files you would like to download on the command-line.

     The files should be in the smb-URL standard, e.g. use
     smb://host/share/file for the UNC path
     \\\\HOST\\SHARE\\file.

     -r, --resume
         Automatically resume aborted files

     -R, --recursive
         Recursively download files

     -u, --username=STRING
         Username to use

     -p, --password=STRING
         Password to use

     -w, --workgroup=STRING
         Workgroup to use (optional)

     -n, --nonprompt
         Don't ask anything (non-interactive)

     -d, --debuglevel=INT
         Debuglevel to use

     -D, --dots
         Show dots as progress indication

         output.

     -f, --rcfile
         Use specified rcfile. This will be loaded in the order
         it was specified - e.g. if you specify any options

         smb:// means all the workgroups

         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.

     of the error is unknown (such as an illegally formatted
     smb:// url or trying to get a directory without -R turned
     on).
