I'm trying to get a recursive file listing with smbclient: smbclient //host/share -Uusername%password -c "ls -alFR" But I get an error: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE listing \-alFR Evidently, smbclient thinks I'm asking for a file mask. Is there a way to get a recursive file listing on a samba share so I can pipe it to wc -l for a file count? Ideally, I'd like to: (This won't work, but you get the idea...) smbclient //host/share -Uusername%password -c "ls -alFR | wc -l" Thanks!

man smbclient
/ recurse
Although it says recurse is for mget and mput, it works for ls, too.
So, this works for me:
smbclient //server/share -c 'recurse;ls' | wc -l
