Can't access dir's with spaces in them

I need to access a directory with a space in it.

exmple: ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get /azzmodan file/file1.zip c:\temp\file1.zip"

The problem is that it won't accept /azzmodan file/file1.zip it thinks it should get /azzmodan and save it as file/file1.zip so it completely bugs on me.

How would i access the dir?
The dir is on an NT Server running IIS5
It won't accept azzmodan+file or azzmodan%20file.

Thx.

Ill try it with the getfile api maybe that that will work.

Thx for the reply though.

try replacing the space with a %20 or %2D i forget which, they replace the spaces and the server will understand them.

does this work?

Dim strtemp As String
strtemp = "/azzmodan file/file1.zip c:\temp\file1.zip"
ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get " & strtemp

Try this way:

'Initialize your connections
Inet.AccessType = icUseDefault
Inet.Protocol = icFTP
Inet.URL = "ftp.YourUrl.com"
Inet.UserName = "YourUserName"
Inet.Password = "YourPassWord"
Inet.RemotePort = 21
Inet.RequestTimeout = 60

'What folder you want to go
Inet.Execute , "CD azzmodan file"
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet.StillExecuting

'Get file in IIS
Inet.Execute , "GET file1.zip C:\Temp\file1.zip"
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet.StillExecuting

'Close your connections
Inet.Execute , "QUIT"
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet.StillExecuting

I realised last night that my posting wouldn't work!


have you tried this sort of thing?

Dim RemoteFile As String
Dim LocalFile As String
RemoteFile = "'/azzmodan file/file1.zip'"
LocalFile = "'c:\temp\file1.zip'"
ftp.Execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get " & RemoteFile & " " & LocalFile

I never have much luck with the Internet transfer control and prefer to use APIs to Wininet dll

aussiejoe:
That didn't work, i tried the %20 like webbrowsers do it, it just reply's that the Dir Azzmodan%20File doesn't exist.

dj4:
No luck, and even if it would it would only be a cheap work around, because in the dir is a file with a space in the name.


Mark Sreeves:
Tried that to, didn't work either
I normally use the wininet.dll but for this project I MUST use the ITC


My first question on this board and no one is able to help me

Thanks guys ill keep looking around

(Or ill just tell my boss it can't be done and that i need ascii transfer anyway.)

Get rid of the F****** space!

Proper servers (ie. UNIX) don't allow it anyway!

[tsgorrie]

TRY THIS

ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get '/azzmodan file/file1.zip' c:\temp\file1.zip"

OR THIS

DIM VBQUOTE=CHR(34)
ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get " & VBQUOTE & "/azzmodan file/file1.zip" & VBQUOTE & " c:\temp\file1.zip"

[tsgorrie]

Guess I should proof read first!!

TRY THIS

ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get '/azzmodan file/file1.zip' c:\temp\file1.zip"

OR THIS

CONST VBQUOTE=CHR(34)
ftp.execute "ftp://1.1.1.1", "get " & VBQUOTE & "/azzmodan file/file1.zip" & VBQUOTE & " c:\temp\file1.zip"

Better yet, run ftp from the dos prompt to figure out the correct FTP syntax is, then work to replicate it in VB

it should probably look like this

get "/azzmodan file/file1.zip"
c:\temp\file1.zip"

on a single line of course

You've got me puzzled now!

continuing our discussion on: http://www.vb-world.net/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000900.html

I had a play around with my website on virgin.net which I was sure was a UNIX system, and that dows seem to allow spaces.

When I was a University I did most of my work on a UNIX system and I certainly couldn't have spaces then! I know there are serveral differnt flavours of unix.

Maybe webserversare different.

secondly, I feel I must retract my comment about unix being proper servers.

I am suddenly an NT Server devotee!

I have been developing a (prototype) "web Based" mantenance tool to run on an intranet which runs happily on an NT server. My system uses ASPs to access data in a database. I have written two DLL which access the database (as well as using an ODBC connection), write a set of files to the hardrive and then FTP them to a UNIX box where they ae used as input files for another system.

Yeah so what! I hear you say.

Well, the thing is, it seems that the customer probably wants to use Netscape Server instead of NT Server!

That's right.
No embedded DLLs
No easy peasy databse connections,
No VB Script
and my 1000 + lines of code in ASPs will go straight in the bin!

I think I'm going to cry!
