smbclient: Connect with a different workgroup.
$ smbclient ${--server-share} --workgroup ${domain} --user ${username}
try on your machine

This command is using the smbclient program, which is a command-line tool to interact with servers using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It is commonly used to work with Windows file shares or browse network resources.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • ${--server-share} is a placeholder for the server and share you want to connect to using smbclient. Replace it with the actual server and share names. For example, server1/share1.
  • --workgroup ${domain} specifies the workgroup or domain to which the server belongs. Replace ${domain} with the actual workgroup or domain name.
  • --user ${username} sets the username used for authentication while connecting to the server. Replace ${username} with the actual username you want to use.

By executing this command, smbclient will attempt to connect to the specified server and share using the provided workgroup/domain and username for authentication.
