I’m connected to an FTP Site via dos. How do I browse directories when they have spaces. Example: I want to get to the folder (C HOME) dos don’t seem to recognize the space. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

This is Win32 command prompt FTP, right?

Use %20 for each space.

Scratch that. Enclosing the directory name within double quotes, as stated by Guti, is the way to do it.

I am not sure wether this is going to work or not but try the dos ascii codes .. i.e in the dos prompt type "c" then hold down the Alt key and key in "32" which is the ascii code for space and then type "home" ... so you whole syntax would be ...
C:\>CAlt+32HOME

Good Luck ...
