Description Debian samba package maintainers (PUBLIC MAILING LIST) 2007-06-22 12:27:27 UTC 
Hello,

the smbclient command can tab completion but this doesn't work correctly:

I enter: put my<tab>

smb: \> put my file
my does not exist

I enter: put "my<tab>

smb: \> put "my file"
putting file my file as \my file (0,7 kb/s) (average 0,7 kb/s)

I enter: get my<tab>

smb: \> get my file
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \my

I enter: get "my<tab>

smb: \> get "my file"
getting file \my file of size 6 as my file (0,5 kb/s) (average 0,5 kb/s)

thx.

Simple patch, solves part of problem

Fixes remote filename completion,
also solves discovered memory leak.

For full fix of the problem, readline Completion Variables needs to be used.
