smbclient spaces in directory names?

I tried searching but I can't find how I can do spaces in directory names. I tried the same way as bash does it but that doesn't seem to work. For example how would I open My Documents with cd?

Try single or double quotes or the DOS filename:

Code:

cd "/mnt/windows/Program Files"
--or--
cd '/mnt/windows/Program Files'
--or this may work too---
cd /mnt/windows/progra~1

And don't forget that it's case sensitive.

P.S. I'm not sure if linux sees both the vfat long and short filenames, so progra~1 may not work.

LOL only a single quote at the start works

Thanks! BTW I'm doinf things correctly if I see smb: \> I'm able to see everything and get files and stuff without the mounted stuff
