Find specific files and move them with smbclient

$ find /opt/backup/test -name "*.gz" -exec smbclient -A \
/opt/backup/smbclient_authentication.txt //1.1.1.1/test -c put '{}' \;

There are multiple directories and other files then *.gz under the dir and I want to move the files found with find with smbclient. Of course, this does not work, since I am missing the last bit. Connection to the share works, and find works, it's just the last bit that does not. Any ideas?

You can use xargs to create parameters from input stream

xargs find /opt/backup/test -name "*.gz" \
    | smbclient -A /opt/backup/smbclient_auth.txt //1.1.1.1/test -c put

If I understand correctly you want to move the files locally besides transferring the via smb. You could:

set -e  #<- abort on error
for f in `find -name '*.gz' -or -name '*.zip'`; do 
    smbclient -A /opt/backup/smbclient_auth.txt //1.1.1.1/test -c put "$f"
    mv "$f" ./transfered/
done
