Re: Trouble downloading filename with spaces

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. For posting extensive logs you may use pastebin or similar application. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

Trouble downloading filename with spaces

Thank you for this great sofware!!!

I had develop an script that works great, except if I try to download a filename with spaces.

Here is the command line: 
/command " option batch abort " " option confirm off " " open sitename " " get /folder/my text file.zip C:\tmp\*" exit

After running the script I get following in console: 
Error code: 2

Error message from server: No such file

Request code: 7

Using WinSCP 4.2.3 on Windows XP

I was reading https://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline#syntax and I found: 
winscp.exe /console /command "option batch on" "open ""session with space"""

And I tried: 
/command " option batch abort " " option confirm off " " open sitename " " get ""/folder/my text file.zip"" C:\tmp\*" exit

/command " option batch abort " " option confirm off " " open sitename " " get ""/folder/my text file.zip C:\tmp\*""" exit

No luck with either. Thank you in advance.
