help [command]
A synonym for the ? command.
lcd [directory]
If no argument is provided, prints the name of smbclient’s
working directory on the local system. If a directory name is
provided as an argument, changes smbclient’s working direc-

link link_name filename
Requests that the server create a hard link to filename and
name it
link_name. This command works only if the server

Toggles the boolean lowercasing setting. When this setting is

mainly used for accessing servers that report filenames in all
uppercase only.
ls [filename]
A synonym for dir.
mask [globbing_pattern]
Sets the filename globbing pattern for use with the mget and
mput commands when recursion is turned on. (When recur-

accept a globbing pattern as arguments; however, those
patterns apply only to the current directory. This command
specifies the pattern used for all subdirectories that are recur-
sively traversed. The pattern stays in effect until it is changed
with another mask command. To return the setting to its orig-

commands.
mdir directory
