How to connect to a NTLMv2 share in Linux

If you just need to download a file you can use smbclient to connect to a NTLMv2 Windows share from Linux. You don’t need to edit smb.conf or any config file, just add the -m SMB2 command line parameter.

$ smbclient -m SMB2 -U usernanme -W workgroup //server/service

For example:

$ smbclient -m SMB2 -U premek -W acme.local //10.20.30.40/public

And to download all files in a remote directory:

$ smbclient -m SMB2 -U premek -W acme.local //10.20.30.40/public \ 
 -c ‘prompt OFF;recurse ON;cd ‘path/to/remote/dir’;mget *’
