    Mounting an external USB HD

    could someone help me out with mounting an external hard drive?

    what i need to do is have it mounted to a folder that has spaces in it.

    here is what i have in my stab file now

    Code:
    /dev/sde1  /YosemiteRemovableDeviceData ntfs defaults 0 0
    that work just fine. what i would like to have happen is this

    Code:
    /dev/sde1  /Yosemite Removable Device Data ntfs defaults 0 0
    i cant get it to mount if there are spaces in the folder name. i have tried to escape the spaces like this


    Code:
    /dev/sde1  /Yosemite\ Removable\ Device\ Data ntfs defaults 0 0
    that did not work either

    any help would be great

    thanks
