💖 SMBC(1) — Samba Commander 💖

okay bestie, welcome to smbc, aka the Text mode SMB network commander ✨ she's the smbc command, she lives in section 1 of the manual, and she is genuinely iconic 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

smbc — Text mode SMB network commander 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Samba Commander is a text mode SMB network commander, no cap. 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. And because she's a queen who thought of everything, 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 ⏳
