smb : Couldn't connect to server

[Jean-Baptiste Gardette]

Hello

I use curl 7.40 on windows 7

I want to upload a file to a server Samba (slackware), I use this command :
curl -T essai.txt -u "user:passwd" smb://192.168.x.x/home/share

who return :
curl : (7) Couldn't connect to server

with verbose option :
Trying 192.168.x.x...
Connected to 192.168.x.x (192.168.x.x) port 445 (#0)
Closing connection 0
curl : (7) Couldn't connect to server

What can be the reasons ?


Thank
Jean-Baptiste

Error 7 means that there was no way to establish a connection to the server.
The likely reason is that the server isn't running an SMB server, or there is a
firewall in the way blocking the connection.

I verified and the daemon smbd is running on the server.

About the firewall, my computer and my server are in the same subnet so
I don't think the firewall intervenes, am I mistaken ?

I can upload and download files with explorer of Windows without any
problems.

I add that I can not to dowloand file with :
curl -u "user:passwd" -o file.txt smb://192.168.x.x/home/share/
(same answer : (7) Couldn't connect to server)

But I can with : curl -o file.txt http://192.168.x.x/home/ShareDevpt/

You could try adding "user:passwd" to your %HOME%/_netrc file
instead (to rule out any shell issue munging your cmd-line).
If you have no %HOME, on Windows this should be:
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\_netrc

with lines like:
machine 192.168.x.x login user password passwd

But I can with : curl -o file.txt http://192.168.x.x/home/ShareDevpt/

Strange. If it was an access-rights issue, you would have got
curl: (67) Login denied

7 is CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT, which can have many reasons (including
a firewall or antivirus program).
