[SOLVED] How to mount a folder incliding a space?

angel115 · 02-19-2007, 03:49 AM

Hello there,

I´m fighting to mount a folder with a space... (i can´t rename it as it´s a network share)

the filder location I´m trying to mount is like:

Code:

//10.26.120.10/MSD ISO

Here is what i try (with no luck):

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=my_user_name,password=My_password "//10.26.120.10/MSD ISO" iso

7565: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
SMB connection failed

I try also this:

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=my_user_name,password=My_password //10.26.120.10/MSD\ ISO iso

7565: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
SMB connection failed

Does any one have a clue how to do that?

Thanks,
Angel.

What sharename is displayed by smbclient ?

Try

smbclient -L 10.26.120.10

See what sharename is displayed there.
Use the samename and mount the share.

The second format you have specified should work with the proper share nanme.

Code:

root@user-lab:/home/user#smbclient -U=My_username -L 10.26.11.201
Password: 

Domain=[GSX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.5-0.5.1]

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        space           Disk      Public Stuff - No write is allowed here - Contact your VMWARE super user

I found it, it´s work fine like this:

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=my_user_name,password=My_password //10.26.120.10/"MSD ISO" iso

Yeah checked it out , it doesnt work that way.

This works

mount -t smbfs -o username=my_user_name,password=My_password '//10.26.120.10/MSD ISO' iso
