I've been trying to set up samba to test this. 9.x used to have smbclient and I contructed an external monitor using that command. It appears that binary is gone. But I did find smbget on my 10.2.x. There is no man page. But simple help is "smbget --help". I have not gotten this to work as I do not have Windows servers.

Or the LTM manual if you search AskF5 for Extended Application Verification".
Hope this helps.
