Could not connect to a Win3.1 share

Thank you, but did not work. I tried to share an empty directory and a
directory with 3 files (no accented characters or other tricks in
filenames), in either cases I got this For_next blabla.
By the way, get source dest works!, but then I sould know what files I
have to get. And Amanda (backup software), to my mind, needs to get the
listing, otherwise backup fails.
More fname also works. Win3.1 machine has a full access share, under
password. By the way, password had to be entered into smbclient in capital
letters, not depending in what case the password actually was.

Just some ideas:
Maybe you have some oddly named file on your windows box which is
confusing
smb and ls. I had a problem yesterday with a file name -T on my linux box.
grep keep giving me an invalid option -T message when I tried grep Pattern
*
in that directory.
On the get error, just some thoughts:
You might try specifying both the local and remote name in the get
command,
and perhaps try them in different order (get remote local and also try get
local remote) and see if that offers any clues.
It sounds like you can't write to your local directory, would be my guess.
How are your permissions?
At the smb prompt, Try more remotefile and see if you can list the file.
