Mounting a shared folder with spaces in ubuntu
June 12, 2009
Ok after much dancing around with google searches. I figured this one out on my own. Mounting a shared folder with spaces can be a bitch. But after this it should be easy.
ok so lets say you have a folder that’s shared on the network called “My Shared Drive” for example. Now on your ubuntu box you want to mount that to a folder on your local machine. Normally you would do this.
sudo mount -t cifs //<ip address>/folder name /home/user/ -o username=name,password=pass
However since there is a space in the folder name it was giving me an error. And using \040 wasn’t working to simulate the space.
sudo mount -t cifs “//<ip address>/folder name” /home/user/ -o username=name,password=pass
I had to encapsulate the line in between “quotes” to get it to work. After I did that it worked perfectly and mounted the dir.
