Re: mounting windows shares

i googled but couldn't find anything appropriate ...

when i try:

mount -t smbfs -o <username,password,and rw options> //windblowsserver/backup/system\ products/

mount chokes on the windblows directory "system products" .

i assume this is b/c of the space in the directory name. what should i do so i can mount this windblows share?


I just did a quick test, sharing out \\winserver\My Music, and was able to mount it with:

smbmount "//winserver/My Music" mntpoint

(notice the quotes). I tried the mount command like you're using above and it failed, but then I don't know the exact syntax and am too lazy to look it up, so YMMV.
