simple question (hopefully)
How do you downoad files from an ftp server using the 'get' command when there are spaces in the file name?

Thanks, fire

That will be program-specific. Try quoting the filename (i.e. "foo bar.dat") and escaping the filename (i.e. "foo\ bar.dat"). If those don't work, how about reading the documentation?

Alright Colin no need to get tetchy. I didn't realise you had to put quotes round the filenames with spaces to perform commands on them. Before, I didnt do that and it worked so I assumed it was common practice.
