I am trying to copy a file to my desktop using following FTP command :

get file1.txt c:\"documents and settings"\userid\desktop\file1.copy.txt

But the FTP command keeps choking due to the space between the name of the directory ( "DOCUMENTS and settings" ).

heLP.
 
Ue a batch file.Change to the desktop before doing the transfer.

lcd "c:\documents and settings\userid\desktop"

The quotes must be around the entire string.
