smbclient uses a vernacualr that is similar to ftp. Use "get" to copy
files from the samba share to your local machine, "put" to copy files
from your local machine to the samba share, cd to change directories on
the server and lcd to change directory on the local machine. There is a
built in help function to smbclient:
[dave@bend ~]# smbclient //mutilate/share
