NTFS Directories
 

Hi All,

I have an external hard drive that is hooked up via USB. Its the secondary drive I use for Win XP so its NTFS.

I can mount this drive no problem and see everything in it; however, when i try to navigate into the directorys in the shell, I can't get into the ones that have spaces because from my knowledge, Linux doesn't like them at all. I tried to replace the spaces with underscores but that didn't work either.

Is there a special character I need to use similar to %20 for urls?

hi there
if u r using shell for browing then include spaces in \ \

for example like this

[root@gaurav downloaded]# ls
action.php documentation new project resume to be done written
[root@gaurav downloaded]# cd to\ \be\ \done
[root@gaurav to be done]#

regards

You can always use tab completion to navigate folders :)

Try it like this:
In between directory\ and nmae/ is the space.
