Yes. Or avoid using spaces in file/directory names.

Is there any other command besides "get" that would work for this server?
Am I better off trying .NET?

WinSCP just cannot work with this server, if there are spaces in the paths.

What FTP server is that?

I had a similar (if not identical) report recently:
https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24830

It is the ftp site: ftp.corelogicreas.com

Hello I am new to scripting for WINSCP.
I am able to connect to my FTP server through the GUI and download files through the GUI.
Taking the advice of the documentation I used the GUI to generate a very simple script and I ran it from the command line.
The Script will connect me to the Server but when it tries to execute the "get" command I get this message in the log file

I have attached the VERY SIMPLE script... what really silly mistake am I making?
