Example

List shared folders provided by a certain IP address

smbclient -L 198.168.0.1 -U username%password

Use smbclient like ftp client

smbclient //192.168.0.1/tmp -U username%password

After successfully executing the smbclient command, enter the smbclient environment and the prompt appears: smb://>

There are many commands here that are similar to ftp commands, such as cd, lcd, get, megt, put, mput, etc. Through these commands, we can access the shared resources of the remote host.

Directly use the smbclient command once

smbclient -c "ls" //192.168.0.1/tmp -U username%password

and

smbclient //192.168.0.1/tmp -U username%password
smb:/>ls

The function is the same.

Create a shared folder

smbclient -c "mkdir share1" //192.168.0.1/tmp -U username%password

If the user shares //192.168.0.1/tmp in a read-only manner, it will prompt NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED making remote directory /share1
