is it an IIS web server you are connecting to? if it is, you might be able to use the dosname (8 character) version of the folder name
eg C:\Program Files = C:\Progra~1 (6 characters then a ~1) i don't know about apache though. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/05/2003 16:34:27 >>> Thanks for the suggestion Antony. I tried that too, both with the single quotes on the outside, and on the inside. Neither of them work, although they don't throw errors. They just don't do anything. So this doesn't work: <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory="'Custom extracts'" connection="MyConnection"> And nor does this: <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory='"Custom extracts"' connection="MyConnection"> Cheers, Michael Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Antony Sideropoulos Sent: Wednesday, 28 May 2003 4:27 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFFTP with long directory name? How to get around this? Have you tried one set single quotes and one set double quotes: eg directory=" ' Custom Directory ' " (I put extra spacing in for display purposes. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/05/2003 16:25:11 >>> I have to set up a CFFTP session to automatically retrieve a file from another system. I have got CFFTP to open and close the ftp session but it's falling over at the change to the remote directory, because the remote directory name has a space in it. How can I get around this? If I use FTP on the command line, the command: cd "Custom extracts" Works ok. (it's the space that's the problem here) But if I put the following CFFTP command, it either can't find the directory if I leave out the extra quotes in the tag, or it complains of too many quotes if I do put quotes around the directory name: e.g. It doesn't like this because it doesn't like the two sets of quotes: <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory=""Custom extracts"" connection="MyConnection"> and this one just doesn't work - it doesn't change to the directory <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory="Custom extracts" connection="MyConnection"> Any idea how I get around this?
