Copy to an SMB share

Here is how to copy a file from a Linux machine to a remote Windows share without mounting. It uses the smbclient:

smbclient '\\\\host\\share' password -D 'the/directory' \\
          -U username -c 'put myfile.txt'

Or if you like it more secure, use an auth file:

cat smb.auth
username = marvin
password = valium
domain = galaxy
smbclient '\\\\host\\share' -D 'the/directory' \\
          -A smb.auth -c 'put myfile.txt'
