So I'm learning to mount ntfs partitions and I can see the files but I can't change directory in linux to a file with spaces.

for example

root@trk: /etc/mnt/c

ls

this/     that/     documents and settings/

i can't get into documents and settings

i've tried

cd /Documents and Settings
cd Documents and Settings/
cd Documents and Settings

I'm like how am I supposed to do data recovery when I can't even get into a directory that has a file name that is separated.

any help

well, thats the standard way to deal with dirs with spaces in. Are you going to bother explaining what the answer you found is then?
