Command line transfers fail if file name has spaces

[jischmidt]

Newbie to Coreftp here. I am using Core FTP LE on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

I have a need to be able to batch ftp files up. All goes well if the file name has no spaces in it, but it errors out if if does contain spaces. If I attempt to ftp "Track04.mp3" all is well, but if I attempt to ftp [u][b]"Track 04.mp3"[/b][/u] it errors out.

Here is the command line in the batch file that is doing the actual ftp

coreftp.exe -u c:\my_podcasts\Track 04.mp3 ^
-output \My_podcasts\output.log -log \My_podcasts\log.log ^
ftp://user:pword@ftp.sbsssoftware.com/public_ftp/vcfc

This is the resulting logfile

If I use the GUI I can transfer that file just fine.


Can anyone please offer me some help or insight? I am desperate in Minneapolis!

Does anybody have any thoughts at all?

If a filename has spaces in it, it needs quotes around it.

You can use quotes even if the filename doesn't have spaces in it.
