WinSCP can't upload file or folder with blank spaces

Question

I have created a batch file containing WinSCP commands to upload files in different folders. Now, file names and folder name contain blank spaces.

It's showing an error when I'm running the batch file with those files and folders. The upload is successful when there aren't any blank spaces.

Below is the batch command that I'm running:

cd \
cd C:\Program Files\WinSCP
winscp.com /command "option echo off" "option batch on" "option confirm off" "open sftp" "put C:\abc\EXCEL\RestaurantAutomation\RestaurantReport_2012120172514\x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls /abc/MG0047/System Generated/x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls" "exit"

The error that I'm getting is:

Cannot create remote file ' /Generated/x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls'.
The file path does not exist or is invalid.
Error Code:10
Request code:3

Answer 1

Wrap the name-with-space with double quote again.

winscp.com /command "option echo off" "option batch on" "option confirm off" "open sftp" "put ""C:\abc\EXCEL\RestaurantAutomation\RestaurantReport_2012120172514\x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls"" ""/abc/MG0047/System Generated/x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls""" "exit"

Update: Updated the command.

Answer 2

Have you tried escaping the spaces?

/abc/MG0047/System Generated/x\ y\ Report_P10_0010050075.xls

Other possibility would be to put the folders itself within quotes, but since there allready are some it might lead to confusioun.

Answer 3

Try it like this.

winscp.com /command "option echo off" "option batch on" "option confirm off" "open sftp" "put C:\abc\EXCEL\RestaurantAutomation\RestaurantReport_2012120172514\""x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls"" /abc/MG0047/""System Generated""/""x y Report_P10_0010050075.xls""" "exit"
