smbc1

Overview

Samba Commander is a text mode SMB network commander. With SMBC, you can browse your local network or use the search function to find files in a share. You can also download/upload files and directories or create them both locally and remotely. SMBC features the resume capability and UTF-8 encoding support.

Options

-V

--version

Displays the version of Smbc.

-h

--help

Prints a help message describing all Smbc's command-line options.

-f

--flush

Flushes all download lists. All files from ~/.smbc/ with dulist* name will be removed. In next run of Smbc the download/upload list will be empty.

-l

--list

Shows all download lists from ~/.smbc/.

-s INT

--show=INT

Displays all items from list with INT number. You can get all numbers from the list executing smbc -l command.

-p

--sleep

Sleeps Smbc. Smbc doesn't download/upload any files when executing even if some file is waiting in queue.

-m STRING

--message=STRING

Receives message from samba. If you want that Smbc receives WinPopup message you must add the line below to smb.conf

message command = /path_to/smbc -m 'message from %f on %m' -i %s; rm %s

Now if you have running Smbc and someone sends you a WinPopup message Smbc immediately displays it. If you don't run a Smbc all WinPopup messages wait for executing a Smbc.

-i STRING

--file=STRING

Sets file with samba message, usage only with -m.
