Most of the docs relate to server options that you don't need to know 
about. 'man smbclient' should be more than enough. Try:

smbclient --user username //host/share
and answering the password prompt. That should get you connected or tell 
you why not.  You can then use ftp-like commands if you want, but the 
main point is to make the connection work.  If your sharename has shell 
metacharacters like $, put single quotes around, like '//host/C$'
