It's so easy to mistype these or get the syntax wrong that I always go
to the MS box.  So on 10.0.0.3 as cindy, with the stuff mounted, 

(I forget the other machine's IP and username, I'm assuming it's cindy1
as user name--if the user name is also cindy, you can leave out cindy1
and I'm giving it the IP of10.0.0.4


cd windows

cd Doc (now, hit the tab key and you'll get auto completion, with
the spaces properly escaped) which will put you in Documents\ and
\ Settings.  From there 
cd All (hit the tab key again)

till you're in home/cindy/winbackups.  Then,

scp -r backups [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

That will put it in cindy1's $HOME directory (that is /home/cindy1)

I find it much easier when using MS file names to do it that way and let
tab completion do most of the work for me.

myself in you. I know it will cost me my soul, and part of me 
didn't care. It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy, 
it's the man.
