smbget: Require encrypted transfers.

smbget

$ smbget ${smb:--server-share-file} --encrypt

try on your machine

The command "smbget ${smb:--server-share-file} --encrypt" is used to download files from an SMB (Server Message Block) server using the smbget tool. Here is the breakdown of each component of the command:

"smbget": This is the name of the command-line tool used for retrieving files from SMB servers.
"${smb:--server-share-file}": This is a placeholder indicating the source file or folder to download from the SMB server. It should be replaced with the actual server, share, and file path. For example, if you want to download a file named "example.txt" from a server named "myserver" in the "share1" share, the command would be "smbget smb://myserver/share1/example.txt". The syntax for specifying the server, share, and file could differ depending on the specific SMB server and its configuration.
"--encrypt": This option enables encryption while transferring files. It ensures that the data exchanged between the client and the server is encrypted, providing a higher level of security.

So, when you execute this command after appropriately configuring the server, share, and file, it will use smbget to connect to the SMB server and download the specified file while ensuring that the transfer is encrypted.
