cant access folder created by other distro

[ianoscar80]

hi all,

I'm dual booting Mageia 3 and Ubuntu 13.04.
I have created folder and copying some files while I log in Ubuntu to the home folder in Mageia partition.
Now when I log in Mageia, I can view the new folder created but no access to the files that I have copied.
It says "could not enter folder".
how can I configure access to the files from Mageia.

Please open a terminal and show the output of

Code: Select all

ls -al /path/to/your/folder

/path/to/your/folder is only a placeholder for the real location of the folder you have problems with.

Code: Select all

[zzz@localhost ~]$ ls -al /home/zzz/videos/New Folder/
ls: cannot access /home/zzz/videos/New: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Folder/: No such file or directory
[zzz@localhost ~]$

The folder name contains a blank, which has a special meaning to the shell.
Either use tab completion for the name, or escape the blank like this:

ls -al /home/zzz/videos/New\ Folder/
