    Just wondering.. Is there like a "Get all" method in smb, or get -recursively ...

    or do i have to go through each file and get "filename" ?? :S

    connected to a windows computer and i have to get a few hundred GBs of file, in a lot of separate folders

    thanks.

    Hi there,
    i dunno exactly what you mean? Could you be more specific on your environment and situation?
    As for me if i need to copy something from samba shared folder, i usually mount it to krusader and copy all i need through it ....

    Lols... I'll try mounting it when I'm home...
    I was doing smbclient //ip/folder in terminal and using "get" to retrieve files.
    Thanks

    smb://ip/folder ...
    Btw. interesting way on thinking on problem, i think it should be possible to copy through terminal too, but haven't tried yet ...

    it's possible through terminal, but one file at a time it seems.

    i ended up getting smbfs (which i didn't have), and

    sudo mount -t smbfs //iporhostname/folder ./localfolder -o username=NAME
