Special character \

Hi,
In the shell script, i need to remove the special charater "\" with "\\". For example, i need to replace "D:\FXT\ABC.TXT" with "D:\\FXT\\ABC.TXT".

However, when trying to do something like , i get the below error :-
-->echo "D:\FXT\ABC.TXT" | sed -e 's#\#\\#g'
sed: 0602-404 Function s#\#\\#g cannot be parsed.


Can you suggest me why this is wrong , or how to replace the above.

Thanks.
