DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the ssaammbbaa(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 \\\\\\\\HHOOSSTT\\\\SSHHAARREE\\\\ffiillee.
