Might have been better to use something like samba?

Maybe try something like:

#! /bin/sh

for file in `find *`; do 
  newname=`echo $file | sed s/'%20'/' '/g | sed s/'%40'/'@nospam.'/g`;
  if [ "$file" != "$newname" ] ; then
     mv "$file" "$newname";
  fi;
done

 as a "neat" script, or

for file in `find *`; do  newname=`echo $file | sed s/'%20'/' '/g | sed
s/'%40'/'@nospam.'/g`; if [ "$file" != "$newname" ] ; then mv "$file" "$newname";
echo $newname; fi ; done

for a one line shell command (Hi Gus).
You could add more sed stuff there too.
I am also quite sure that there would be a neater way to do this, as I am
not overly experienced :-) Just a quick hack.


Good Luck,
