[Bug 1258219] Re: smbclient 'put' fails with absolute path to local file

[Macarro]

I know this thread is quite old, but just in case...

Sorry, Robie, but I don't understand you. What could be the advantage or
intentionality behind it? I mean, smbclient is a linux program and the
put command is to copy a local file (so, from linux path) to a remote
computer. Why should you need to consider any kind of path manipulation?

Regards

Title:
  smbclient 'put' fails with absolute path to local file

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  smbclient 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.6 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

  When issuing command similar to
  "smbclient --user=DOMAIN/domainuser -c "put /path/to/file.zip" //Machine/Share machinePassword

  rather than upload the local file /path/to/file.zip to remote //Machine/Share as expected, smbclient complains with the error
  "NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID opening remote file \/path/to/file.zip"

  
  At the moment, for a workaround, we are using -c "lcd /path/to; put file.zip" which has been working, but this only works because the very simple script knows the absolute paths for the files we are backing up.
