I went down this road once and concluded that server/share names just cannot have special characters. (Special being anything that you have to escape in the shell.)
Best.

I would think that, at least in the shell script, it would be //servername/share\ name.

In the shell, you escape a space by preceding it with a backslash.

Hello all:

I am trying to write a script to mount user home directories on a 10.4 box. The home directory is an SMB share and the issue appears to be that the share has a space in the share name.

I have tried:

mount volume"smb://servername/share name"
mount volume"smb://servername/share name"
mount volume"smb://servername/share\040name"
mount volume"smb://servername/'share name'"


do shell script("mount_smbfs -N //servername/share name")
do shell script("mount_smbfs -N //servername/share name")
do shell script("mount_smbfs -N //servername/share\040name")
do shell script("mount_smbfs -N //servername/'share name'")

None of these have worked I am hoping that one of you can end my pain where Google searching failed.

Thanks,
