NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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) manual page (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 /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.
