[Samba] Mounting a MSWindows share containing a $ sign
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.
