How can I script a download from Windows File Sharing?

Question

Given a set of XML files available on a Windows Share \\server\share contains spaces\direcory\, I need a bash command to download one specific file from that share.

Neither wget nor curl support any smb:// URI, and I'd like to avoid the mount command. Solutions?

Answer 1

smbclient can be scripted to upload or download files using the -c option. Syntax is similar to ftp.

e.g.

smbclient -I [server IP] "//servername/path with spaces/" -c "get [filename]"
