Options -A and -N are unrelated. Both skip the password prompt to
make smbclient non-interactive. -A because it can read the credentials
from a file. -N because it is used when no password is needed (login
as guest/nobody). Either one worked for you, but access to the share
was denied. What do you think is the bug?
