I don't remember if connecting to a folder within a share every worked.
BTW while using backslashes works you can also you the standard //server/share too.

My comment was that I do not remember if smbclient //server/share/folder every worked regardless of using forward or backward slashes. However, it is possible to mount a shared folder i.e mount -t cifs //server/share/folder...

FWIW - Both 'smbclient //<ip-address>/<Sharename>' and 'smbclient \\\\<ip-address>\\<Sharename>' connect to my XP virtual machine. You can use 'cd' to enter a folder.

Like others have suggested trying to access a particular folder within a share fails for me as well....
Code:
~> smbclient //192.168.1.2/Documents/4RF
Password for [WORKGROUP\dean]:
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
~>
Accessing the valid share works as expected...
Code:
~> smbclient //192.168.1.2/Documents
Password for [WORKGROUP\dean]:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.

I believe the behaviour is by design as a protection from directory traversal exploits.

But I need to access it directly;
For example
root@CLIENTPC:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# smbclient \\\\192.168.3.222\\SHARE --directory FOLDER
Works. No issues. I can dir, etc. all I want.
So connectivity wise and protocol wise, I am able to access it.
Also, If I do a get command over the file I want to get, it downloads, so no issues there either

So what is the problem with invoking that as you have?
Or if using in a script, something like the following for example...
Code:
smbclient //server/share -D folder -c "get foo.txt ; exit"

From 'man smbclient'...
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/cur...bclient.1.html
it describes the servicename as taking the form //server/service. It is not intended to be used for specifying the network path as such.
