Hi Czezz,

there is a tool called smbclient for FreeDOS. I explained more in this mail:

http://old.nabble.com/Free-smbclient-for-DOS-td17659937.html

As the server seems to be down at the moment, I provide a copy here:
http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/smbc3b.zip

This is working like a textmode FTP client, that can access smb shared folders.

It is also possible to install the old MS Client add-on, that Microsoft created for MS DOS.

Read more here:

But don't expect too much.

regards
Ulrich
