Is this worth trying.

put the defaultFolder into tSavedDef
put "/home/folder1/folder 2" into tNewDef
set the defaultFolder to tNewDef
if tNewDef = the defaultFolder then
  ## there is a folder
else
 ## there isn't a folder
end if
set the defaultFolder to tSavedDef

This kind of mirrors what you have to do on an FTP server to get a listing of a folder whose name contains spaces. I was wondering if the file system on your server behaves in a similar fashion, and will let you set the defaultFolder to a name with a space, but not work with "there is".

Well, I didn't try it because I just discovered something else. Probably what's wrong is that I don't understand the file system on the server. I'm working with a setup very much like the one you described on your sever. In other words, there's a path like this:

</httpd/vhosts/domain.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi>

If I query any folder within the domain name, it exists (regardless of spaces). But the one I need is outside the domain, like this:

</folder1/other folder/>

where "folder1" is at the same level as the "httpd" folder in the first example above. Even this folder exists unless it has spaces, though.

At least, I think that's what's going on. I've tried so many things now I'm getting confused.
