Files with spaces in their names
 
I am networked with my fiancee's XP box with Samba. Can you tell me how to access files on her computer that have spaces in the name?

I don't know anything about samba, but in other contexts using the escape character '\' before the space works.

e.g a file called "My File" would be "My\ File".

You can also use %20 for spaces, this is true with any special character (obviously with a different number).

Also try 'my file', single quotes.
