    OK. smbclient can be used to create a tarball for extraction on the client side .. but its too cumbersome.

    I simply set a mount point.

    Code:
    # mkdir -p /mnt/ntserver
    Code:
    # mount -t cifs //ntserver/download -o username=vivek,password=myPassword /mnt/ntserver
    # cd /mnt/ntserver; ls -l
    xwulfgar.
