Yaaay! (sort of)
1. Down with spaces in the name of any file that needs to be uploaded
or downloaded
2. BOO on any file that has a special character of any kind. Some
characters are safe, but why the heck take a chance?
If you are talking about files that users create that you have no
control over,
And I am. Right now I'm writing code that changes the names of those
files, replacing spaces with underscores. This will happen just after
the user relinquishes control to the upload process and before they can
touch the files again (via my app).
then I think you will have to escape the file (and path) names. There
may be a library that does that, but essentially you would replace
space with %20, and any other special characters that you will allow
with their respective URL equivalents.
Eventually though you will have to account for the fact that people
are going to try to use characters that are simply not allowed, and
you will have to check for that and alert the user that illegal
characters are being used in the file name.
Yep. Thanks Bob!

Using 'libUrlFtpUploadFile', what is your experience with uploading
files whose 'short' names (not the full path) contain spaces? I think
that's the critical variable in my situation; when spaces are there, the
upload fails.
Can anyone confirm my experience, or else straighten me out? (Good luck
on that second option ;o)
