A tool for testing connectivity to SMB shares. With it you can:
carnival md5 smb://user:password@address/sharename/path/to/file.txt
carnival cp smb://user:password@address/sharename/file.bin .
# OR rename it at the destination
carnival cp smb://user:password@address/sharename/file.bin file.binary
The cp
command will tell you how long the transfer took and the average transfer speed.
# List the files at the root of the share
carnival ls smb://user:password@address/sharename/
# List the files in the 'Games' directory of the share
carnival ls smb://user:password@address/sharename/Games
carnival shares smb://user:password@address
If a username and password are not included in the SMB url, carnival will authenticate as guest
with an empty password.
