I tried it out, Samba server to a samba client (I do not have any Windows
machines to try it with)
I could mount a share (/home/derek/smb4k/MYTH/mythvideo/test/' directory )
with smb4k and browse to it with konqueror no problem. I could read and write
to files in that directory.
Also I could use smb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mythvideo/test/' directory and read
and
write to the folder OK
So unless its something to do with a Windows client then I do not know why you
are having problems.
Did you try quoting the apostrophe with
smb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mythvideo/test/\' directory
That also works for me.
I was using samba-client-3.0.20-3mdk
