smbclient store password for a specific host

Question

I have a network folder in my LAN, I have installed smbclient to access it with the command

smbclient //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/share_folder --user=share/user%password

I can access it. But how can I store the password to don't have to type it ?

edit: correction

Answer 1

quoting from man smbclient

-A|--authentication-file=filename

This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the username and password used in the connection.

The format of the file is:

username = value

password = value

domain = value

Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users.

link to the man

for example:

smbclient --authentication-file=~/.smbcredentials_sharename //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/share_folder
