The problem I'm having is my Windows directory names include the space -I tried escaping the spaces with \ but that's not working. I tried: scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/windows/C/Documents\ and\ Settings/All\ Users/Documents/My\ Documents /home/cindy/winbackups but I get this error: scp: /windows/C/Documents: No such file or directory scp: and: No such file or directory scp: Settings/All: No such file or directory scp: Users/Documents/My: No such file or directory > > Wrong.

I tried to drag and drop the windows 'My Document' directory into the utility.

Yeah, it might - but it's going to take forever since my Linux partition keeps running out of disk space on the machine with the Windows partition. The other machine has two hard drives - and 80G and a 250G that I just bought to back up my Windows partition. Barely got the thing installed on this computer when the Windows went down on the other computer. What a bummer. :( I really appreciate your time. Cindy ------------------------ Yahoo!
