ubuntu 13.04 sansa clip can't cd to directory

**AgentZ86** · June 25th, 2013

Hi
I can't access my msc sansa clip from the console

I can cd /media/user to see my media devices plugged in
ls shows the directories for my flash drive and sansa clip

I cd DE30-94A7 for the flash drive and works perfectly
I cd sansa clip it says no such file or directory

I can't cp (copy) any files to /media/user/sansa clip with console commands at all
for example: cp /home/user/Documents/file.txt /media/user/sansa clip

Strangly when I manually run a python script that uses shutil and copy files to this path "/media/user/sansa clip"
It copies to the directory no problem.

Why can't I access this sansa clip from the consol ??
I have the device set to msc mode already and is accessible using any other clickable method

I want to test cp commands in the consol / terminal so I can ad a line to my bash script.

Please advise

The shell doesn't parse file or folder names with spaces in them very well; you can either enclose the full path in double quotes: cd "/media/user/sansa clip" or use the backslash key like so: cd /media/user/sansa\ clip. If you use Tab completion the backslash will be added automatically, which is easiest.

Also Linux is case-sensitive, so if the folder name is actually /media/user/Sansa\ Clip, you will need to specify that, but again, Tab completion makes this simpler.
