Escape spaces in console mode

I'm trying to synchronize a local folder to a remote folder but I'm having prolems escaping spaces in my paths... Is there any way to synchronize folders with spaces in their paths? Example:

winscp>synchronize c:\Documents and Settings\supercleanse\My Documents /home/supercleanse/My Documents

Enclose the path in quotes, like:

winscp>synchronize "c:\Documents and Settings\supercleanse\My Documents" "/home/supercleanse/My Documents"

How can this be done from the command line?

winscp3.com /command "open ....." syncrhonize local "Docs and Sets" ./

Complains about the number of parameters.

Re: Escape spaces in console mode

You cannot do this from command line (due to limitation of Windows parsing capabilities).
