I tried to ftp my web page files but were rejected because some of them have spaces in the file names. Help!?

Renaming the files is not practical since I have hundreds of them. Any suggestion? Or if you know off any Windows based web hosting sites?


Please help!

Try file namer freewares, they can easily rename several files with just one click...





I use ReNamer which is a small, yet very flexible file and folder renamer, that offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes as well as advanced options and support for Unicode file names. In addition, it can also remove brackets, add number sequences, remove digits or symbols and change file extensions. The program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in logical sequence. Renamer supports 30 different meta fields, including EXIF, ID3 and others, that can be used as part of the new file name. Advanced users can use PascalScript to program their own renaming rules.

the only way to fix it is to take out the spaces. while they have spaces they wont work, u%26#039;ll have to rename them all
Reply:I%26#039;m sorry to tell you this, but depending on to where you are trying to upload the files, you may have to rename them. I have encountered several situations in ftp and database operations where file names with spaces cause errors. The best practice I have found, and one that is widely used in industry, is to use an underscore (my_file_name) as a place holder wherever you would normally have a space. Even if you are able to get around renaming them now, I would do it eventually, otherwise you are likely to run into this problem again.
Reply:wrap the filename in quotes
Reply:From what I know, Some Hosting companies do not allow this, When I used Yahoo Hosting, I had to do a batch rename
Reply:You will always have trouble with spaces in file names. You should never use a space in a file name, especially on the internet. Many web hosts will not even allow them to open to view.
