The -D option is used for changing to a specified directory on your machine before starting. The -n option would be used to if you had to pass your NETBIOS name to the server. The -U is is your username that the server knows. Most of the time smbclient //<machine-you-want-to-connect-to>/<share-you-want> is enough. You will be prompted for a password.
