libUrlFtpUploadFile - upload files whose names contain spaces?

[Bob Sneidar]

Yes.

1. Down with spaces in the name of any file that needs to be uploaded  
or downloaded
2. BOO on any file that has a special character of any kind. Some  
characters are safe, but why the heck take a chance?

If you are talking about files that users create that you have no  
control over, then I think you will have to escape the file (and path)  
names. There may be a library that does that, but essentially you  
would replace space with %20, and any other special characters that  
you will allow with their respective URL equivalents.

Eventually though you will have to account for the fact that people  
are going to try to use characters that are simply not allowed, and  
you will have to check for that and alert the user that illegal  
characters are being used in the file name.
