  • Replace white spaces with underscores('_')
  • Capitalize the first letter of each word
Don't use white spaces in file names, it simplifies life.

Have you tried putting the name of the file in quotes?

Ok....but the file with whitespaces is on a remote computer and I can`t access that file and rename it. I`ve tried to rename the string that contains the remote filename to a string with "_" instead of whitespaces. Then I put that string into the ftp_put()-function..........but with no luck....


Any suggestions?`

Send a message via ICQ to Onslaught
Is the remote a *nix type?
Try putting a slash '\' before the space, since spaces in unix filename cause bad things.

There is actually a rename command in ftp, as long as you have sufficient rights to do that.
