Spaces in filenames?

[Rob Harris]

Aaah, I forgot the %20 trick, I'll modify the program accordingly.

Thanks,  RobH.

Absolutely!

URLs cannot contain spaces.  You either need to replace them with plus
signs (which I hardly ever see anyone do these days), or escape them as %20
(20 hexadecimal = 32 decimal which is the character number of the space
character).  So to post a link to a file called The Beatles - Help.mp3 you
use something like this:

http://yourserver.com/the%20beatles%20-%20help.mp3

If this doesn't answer your question, maybe give us a filename and the URL
for it which doesn't work.

Geoff.
