smbclient //$IP/$SHARE -U $USER -p $PORT-I— IP address to connect to-U— username to use for the connection-P— password to use for the connection-N— attempt to connect without a password-W— domain (or workgroup) to use for the connection-p— connect to a non-standard port-c— attempt to execute the supplied command (!!!) on the server (if the user you’re connecting as has permission to do so)
The -p directive is only necessary if working over a non-standard port (e.g., not 445).
If -U is not included, smbclient will use your current (local) username, so probably best to fill something else in. If a password needs to be sent, specify the user as ${USER}%${PASSWORD}.
The interface is reminiscent of old-school FTP clients.
