What is the syntax for spaces in FTP return path?

Hello Experts,
What syntax do I need for a path in FTP that contains spaces?
Thank you

The FTP standard is silent on the issue so different FTP servers use different path separator characters.  This can be annoying if you want to write a script that works on multiple servers.

For me it is a client issue since it is our server.   I cannot even make the vba editor accept most of the things that I attempt.  It rejects double quotes, puts in semicolons and does all sorts of strange things. I suppose also, that if I make something work on one client, it will not work on another.  It sounds to me like I need to be going in the direction of temp directories on client machines.

The truth about this issue is as AlexPace says...ftp is silent about it and you need to create your own solutions...mine has worked for me.
