I've done a bit of googling - I'm not finding anything useful for you... The get task looks to support things like ftp, http - definitely from the description of the task "Any URL schema supported by the runtime is valid here, including http:, ftp: and jar:"

I'm guessing you are on *nix? If you are on a Linux box, try installing smb-client packages. There is an app called smbget, you can probably just <exec> that... Personally, if you go that route, I'd wrap the call in a macrodef for reuse ;)

I know I can use get if i want to copy the file from a specific location but
the location i want to use at the moment is smb://excel/...
For example if I go on to Ubuntu's window's explorer and choose to go to
smb://excel the folder opens just fine!
Whenever I try to run the script using ant though I am getting an error
saying that smb is an unknown protocol! Any ideas?
