Message-ID: <16895@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Tue, 21-Feb-84 19:56:40 EST Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.16895 Posted: Tue Feb 21 19:56:40 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 2-Mar-84 14:50:45 EST Lines: 11 From: David Towson (CSD)Ernie - Thanks for your note saying that quotes are not needed around filenames in FTP command lines sent from UNIX unless there is a SPACE in the filename. Sure enough; I tried it without the quotes and it worked fine on Simtel20. You are also right about where I got into the habit of using quotes. I got it from FTPing from Mit-mc, which does have two-part filenames with the parts separated by a space. Dave
