Recursively mput with smbclient

If you want to upload a local directory and its contents under Linux to a network share, commands are as below:

 

ls -all trunk

smb: \>
smb: \> recurse
smb: \> prompt
smb: \> mput trunk*

 

By default recurse option is OFF. Entering recurse command on the smb prompt will toggle this option to ON, and similarly prompt option is ON by default. Entering prompt option will toggle this option to OFF, so that smbclient will not ask confirmation for each file in the subdirectories. mput will put multiple files matching trunk* pattern on the local filesystem.
