how to mount or cd to a folder with a '

Hi Guys,

I am trying to mount a windows share via centos 6
the problem is that share has a ' in it.

how do i mount it?

the command is

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.12/andrew's' -o username=administrator,password=xxxxx /mnt

how do i mount it if it has a ' in the name?

The standard method of escaping characters that may have special meaning to the shell is to use a backslash('\') .. try that first and let us know how you go.
