I'm trying to mount a share that containt a $ sign in it, and I always receive :
5882: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid
share name)
If I try with another share name (without the $ sign) it work. Here is the
command I use :
mount -t smbfs -o username=WINuname,password=WINpwd,uid=MyUnixUID,gid=MyUnixGID
//server/Users$/WINuname /home/unixUID/mount_point
I've try with the escape sequence \$ (//server/Users\$/WINuname) with simple
('//server/Users$/WINuname') and double quote ("//server/Users$/WINuname") and
nothing work!
I can do smbclient -L server -U WINuname and I see all share name with or
without $ sign.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jean-Philippe.
