If you want to move it you have to access it like:

mv yoyo\ telcnologies\ file.doc /place/you/want/it/

I'm not sure I understand the question'

@micxz

it is true that u have not understood the question.

i don't want to move the file. i want to copy the windows share file to linux box through SAMBA server.

smbclient
smbmount

Hints' Sorry I think I understand now'

@micxz

I think still u have not understood the questions. So, plz. read carefully and try to help me to solve this query.

I already used smbclient to access windows share by providing this comand

#smbclient //c5m9x2/C

then it shows this and asked me for password i provided that

added interface ip=192.168.1.2 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:

then i cd to directory in which my file is located

smb: \>cd emailssent

then i use ls command to show the files

smb: \emailssent\>ls

yoyo telcnologies file.doc A 266424 Sat Sep 18 10:56:36 2004

now i want to copy this file through command line itself to linux box.

So, what command should i type to copy this file, i guess get is used but how ,i tried "get yoyo\ telconologies\ file.doc" but it doesn't worked.

No just "mget". Type bold.

smb: \> mget
Get file yoyo Tecnologies file.doc? y

thanks for your response.

there round about 100 files, yoyo file comes at 60th location.

so i have to do n 59 times.

a ? n
b ? n
c ? n
| |
| |
| |
| |
yoyo ? y

So, i have to press 59 times n and then y.

so is there any other way for it.

How about using wild cards:

smb: \> mget yoyo*

Tip:
smb: \> recurse
directory recursion is now on
smb: \> recurse
directory recursion is now off
smb: \>

And of course:

man smbclient
