smbclient in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own smbclient package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so smbclient should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • smbclient
  • cifsdd
  • mdsearch
  • rpcclient
  • smbcacls
  • smbcquotas
  • smbget
  • smbspool
  • smbtar
  • smbtree

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

There is no systemd in Breadstick, so a server does not start on its own: you start it by hand from the Terminal. Android does not give apps the network ports below 1024, so a web or file server listens on a higher port, and other devices on your network can reach it at the device's address when it listens on all addresses and Breadstick is running. More in the docs: What Breadstick cannot do: the system itself.

About smbclient

From Debian's package description

Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.

This package contains command-line utilities for accessing Microsoft Windows and Samba servers, including smbclient, smbtar, and smbspool. Utilities for mounting shares locally are found in the package cifs-utils.
