DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbget is a simple utility with wget-like semantics, that 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.

OPTIONS
       -a, --guest
          Work as user guest

       -r, --resume
          Automatically resume aborted files

       -R, --recursive
          Recursively download files

       -u, --username=STRING
          Username to use

       -p, --password=STRING

          Workgroup to use (optional)

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

       smbget -Rr smb://rhonwyn/isos
       # Backup my data on rhonwyn
