[Samba] Re: How can $VARIABLES be used inside smbclient -c'xyz' command strings?

[Joel Hammer]

Will the ftp box act as an ftp server?
If so, an expect script might be a good way to transfer them.

This command worked fine for me:
smbclient //HAMMER2/ELLEN -N -c "put junkheader.txt"  
where junkheader.txt is a file on the local system. $1 should work. The
original file name is preserved.
