I'm attempting to GET a file that has spaces in the filename, so I'm
quoting it.  But I get an error:

ftp> get "TAPEMANAGER GUI VER. 8.068.032 SETUP.EXE"

Any ideas?

I found some more information. Apparently, the FTP server I'm talking
to needs the quotes on the filename, but the form I used strips off
the quotes. Is there a way to get the Windows ftp client to send a
quoted filename to the server?
