NAME¶
smbutil —
interface to the SMB
requester
SYNOPSIS¶
smbutil |
[-hv]
command
[-options]
[args] |
DESCRIPTION¶
The
smbutil command is used to control SMB requester and issue
various commands.
There are two types of options — global and local to the specified
command.
Global options are as follows:
- -h
- Print a short help message.
- -v
- Verbose output.
The commands and local options are:
- crypt
[password]
- Encrypt clear text password for use in the
~/.nsmbrc file. The encrypted password starts with the
‘
$$1
’ symbols. Warning: the encryption
function is very weak and intended only to hide clear text password. If
password is omitted from the command line,
smbutil will prompt for one.
- help
command
- Print usage information about
command.
- lc
- List active connections and their parameters.
- login
[-connection_options]
//user@server[/share]
- Login/attach to the specified server
and/or share as user. This
command will create and authenticate connection to an SMB server, and will
leave it active after exit. Thus, it is possible to login only once and
then use other SMB commands without authentication procedure and
additional connections. For the description of
-connection_options refer to the
mount_smbfs(8) manpage (all uppercase options are
connection options).
- logout
//user@server[/share]
- Logout/detach from the specified
server and/or share as
user. This command will destroy a connection created
by the login command. A connection may not be closed
immediately if it is used by other programs.
- lookup
[-w host]
name
- Resolve the given name to an IP
address. The NetBIOS name server can be directly specified via the
-w option.
- print
[-connection_options]
//user@server/share
file
- Send the given file to the specified
queue on the remote server. If file is
-, then standard input will be used.
- view
[-connection_options]
//user@server
- List resources available on the specified
server for the user user.
FILES¶
- ~/.nsmbrc
- Keeps description for each connection. See
./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details.
