Another strange thing
everything is finally working great for me. I'm getting pretty good at the command line. However, I do have a win drive mounted and can read it, if the directory doesnt have a space in the naming. for example
I cant get to program files because it has a space in it. I am logged in as root. Running MDK 9.1 first question, would it be that I need to share this folder on the windows side in the first place? or second, do I just simply have the syntax?
I am simply doing cd program files (case sensitive)
when I am browsing through my dir structure with konquerer I can access them just fine. Is there something I need to change, if so, is it on my *nix side or Win?
-
Can you replace the spaces with %20 and access the share? I'm merely guessing.

put a \ infront of the space like this
that should let you get in to the directory

thanks..
thanks guys for the quick responses. I had forgotten about the \ required for that, got me right in!

you can just put in it quotes also "Program Files"

This is what I always do, if tab complete doesn't take it first

Yep, tab completion will put the escaping backslash in there for you. If you were in your Windows C drive directory, and typed cd Pro and hit tab, the shell will complete the rest (by adding "gram\ Files/" onto your command line) for you.
