Mounting Windows share with a space in the share name
 

How do I mount Windows shares that contain a space in the name?

This works on shares with no spaces in name -

mount -t cifs //servername/Sharename1 /media/folder1 -o username=name

This does not - Note the space in the Windows Server 2003 share name -

mount -t cifs //servername/Sharename 2 /media/folder2 -o (and so on.)
-or-
mount -t cifs //172.16.1.10/Sharename 2 /media/folder2 -o (and so on.)

All I get is a help screen typical of a syntax error. Does this mean I can't mount shares that have a space in the name? Is there a work-around?

Thanks

Seems I didn't search well enough before posting. After posting, the system pointed out a thread with the answer. Enclose the share with quotes.

mount -t cifs "//servername/sharename 1" /media/folder1 --and so on.

Thanks anyway.
