It will only work if the service NETSEND in the Windows machine is enabled.

the middle command between the ; and ; is the vi commands that insert that line into the last line of the file, the esc with the carets is literally hitting the escape key, you have to have the smbfs package installed to do it, I use it to access my iTunes music on my mac from my linux PC's with amarok so I can play the music anywhere in the house. among other things, it allows you to access the files on that share from your computer anytime you're on that network.

Control (stop, start, restart) a Windows Service from a Linux machine which has the `net` command (provided by samba). Show Sample Output

This commando copies the file (which must reside in the current directory) to //<server>/<share-name>/<subdirectory>/<file> through the CIFS protocol (Samba share or Windows Share). It doesn't require you to mount the filesystem first. --directory "<subdirectory>" may be omitted in order to copy the file the the root of the share. The "%password" part may also be omitted. If doing so, smbclient will ask for the password interactively. To copy a file from a Windows/Samba share, change "put" for "get". smbclient --user=user%password --directory "<subdirectory>" --command "get <file>" //<server>/<share-name> Show Sample Output

Checks for PC samba name and workgroup. Works fine for Windows hosts and Linux/UNIX PCs running Samba. Show Sample Output

This is a handy command to put into ~/.bash_logout to automatically un-mount windows shares whenever the user logs out. If you use this on as a non-root account then you'll need to append sudo before umount and the user will need to have the appropriate sudoer rights to run the /bin/umount command.
