Seems like none of the fundies have responded yet. I would try two things - one
is a %20 for the blank, the other is not to have extra spaces inside the quotes
- the one before Other and the one after Images. Have spaces outside of the
quotes, though.Good luck,Gerd DiederichsSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

directory containing spaces Hi, I'm trying to download a bunch of URLs I
grouped together in file "input.txt". Downloading them to sub-folder "Images"
works alright with the following command. wget -nv -a log.txt -P .\Images\ -i
input.txt The -P switch even creates the target directory if it doesn't exist.
But when I try to download my files to .\Other Images\ I run into trouble. I.e.
Wget's -P switch now creates (and downloads to) target directory "Other".
Obviously, the space is the culprit. However, when I next try to work around
the issue by double-quoting the target directory, which is a normal solution in
many command line applications w get -nv -a log.txt -P " .\Other Images\ " -i
input.txt Wget doesn't recognize this target directory and throws a "missing
URL" error. Apparently, the -P switch can't stand double-quotes... Is there a
solution for this? Should another character than a double-quote be used to
preserve spaces? Or is there another workaround for this problem? M.
