Just using smbclient.

Yeap, this is part of the plan.

Nope, the file appears to be unchanged.

Nothing in the log. I assume this is because I am not starting smbd.

I have tried to force smbclient to use port 139, but that does not
seem to be the answer either. In googling a bit more, I ran into a
thread or two that stated that port 445 transactions are slower than
using 139. As I said, this did not help.

Hopefully, I will get a chance to upgrade to FC2 on Monday.
