    Can't get to Local Folder from the command prompt

    I'm trying to migrate my thunderbird settings from my windows partitions into linux. Everything is going all right, except I can't seem to get into "Local Folders" from the command prompt. When I type ls -a I get Local Folders and mail.comcast.net. When I type cd Local Folders I get
    bash: cd: Local: no such file or directory.

    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with handling the space. Any ideas?

    I'm on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10

    there is a space in folder name. use backspace to escape it.
    Code:
    cd Local\ Folders

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Thanks Casper, I knew it had to be syntax error!
