recurse
Toggle directory recursion for the commands mget and mput.
When toggled ON, these commands will process all directories in
the source directory (i.e., the directory they are copying from
) and will recurse into any that match the mask specified to the
command. Only files that match the mask specified using the mask
command will be retrieved. See also the mask command.
When recursion is toggled OFF, only files from the current work-
ing directory on the source machine that match the mask speci-
fied to the mget or mput commands will be copied, and any mask
specified using the mask command will be ignored.
mget Copy all files matching mask from the server to the machine run-
ning the client.
Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive oper-
ation and non-recursive operation - refer to the recurse and
mask commands for more information. Note that all transfers in
smbclient are binary. See also the lowercase command.
