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. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: I'm weak.
