smbclient //server/share -U user

Open an interactive SMB session on a share

This drops you into an FTP-like shell on the named share where commands such as ls, cd, get, and put move files over SMB. The session prompts for the password after the -U username. Use it for one-off transfers without mounting anything, which keeps the filesystem clean.
