smbclient is samba client with an “ftp like” interface. It is a useful tool to test connectivity to a Windows share. It can be used to transfer files, or to look at share names. In addition, it has a nifty ability to ‘tar’ (backup) and restore files from a server to a client and visa versa.
What port does Smbclient use?
This number is the TCP port number that will be used when making connections to the server. The standard (well-known) TCP port number for an SMB/CIFS server is 139, which is the default.
How do I tell if Smbclient is installed?
The easier way is to check with your package manager. dpkg, yum, emerge, etc. If that doesn’t work, you just need to type samba –version and if it’s in your path it should work. Lastly you can use find / -executable -name samba to find any executable named samba.
