smbclient: Upload a file to the server.

smbclient

$ smbclient ${--server-share} --directory ${path-to-directory} --command "put ${file-txt}"

try on your machine

The given command is using the smbclient tool to interact with an SMB (Server Message Block) server.

Here's a breakdown of the command structure:

${--server-share}: This is a placeholder for the server and share location. It should be replaced with the actual server and share information. For example, if the server is called "example-server" and the share name is "shared-folder", it should be replaced with example-server/shared-folder.
--directory ${path-to-directory}: This specifies the directory on the server where the file will be uploaded. Replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the target directory.
--command "put ${file-txt}": This is the command to execute within the smbclient session, which in this case is the "put" command. "put" is used to upload a file from the local machine to the server. Replace ${file-txt} with the actual name of the file (including the extension .txt) that you want to upload.

Putting it all together, the command is used to establish a connection with an SMB server, navigate to the specified directory on the server, and upload a local file to that directory.
