Are you sure that the filename has a trailing space or is it a space

I tried adding spaces to several files with recognised extensions and
the filesystem added the extension back again!
so
20.pdf+<spc>
became
20.pdf<spc>.pdf
similar with .doc
(You could try the freeware/donationware app called "r-name" if
complicated command line *nix syntax drives you nuts.)

Spaces within the name need to remain ideally, it is just the ones
at the

file names in all Unix file systems I know of CANNOT have
trailing spaces
What file system are you working with?
OS X. It's GUI too nice for its own good in this case (though via
terminal
it doesn't allow you to make such file names). It doesn't prevent "/"
being
used either, which as you would know can cause major problems when
FTP or
terminal commands come into play.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Simon
