[comp.sys.mac.comm] how mget filenames with spaces?

rsb5c@watt.acc.Virginia.EDU (Richard S. Bondi) (04/16/91)

For example, I wanted to mget a file with ftp that  was called  
"Compactor Pro", but ftp just kept returning the error message
that no file named Compactor had bben found.  What is the solution 
to this problem?  Thanks in advance.

Try putting quote marks around the mget request.

	mget "Compactor Pro"
