O.K., but there is still no explanation, why i got the same error doing:
mount c:\ftp /ftp
1.
siebenschlaefer@LORELEY /hdd
$ mount c:\ftp /ftp
mount: /ftp: Invalid argument
2.
siebenschlaefer@LORELEY /hdd
$ mount c:\ftp ftp
mount: ftp: Invalid argument
The second case is o.k., argument ftp is invalid, but in first case,
not /ftp is invalid, but 'c:ftp' because the quote is a quote and a
backslash or slash is missing in this place, so there is the wrong
error message, IMHO.
