what about

cd "#chr(34)#directory name#chr(34)#"

or

cd """directory name"""

That's a great idea too, Antony.  I tried that .. :( but it didn't work.

(sigh)

Anyone have any other ideas?    It is a IIs connection by the way.

And I have called the system owner, and they can't change the name of the
directory because there are others also using that directory.



Cheers,

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.

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">
