CWD to directory which name contain spaces

ism has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello everybody!

I really stuck with this question. It seemed there was similar question was discussed here (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=182444). But i don't found solution there. So i need help with that.

I'm using Net::FTP

Here is sample of code that i'm using

my $ftp_dir_base = '\Folder\Somefolder\ONE TWO Three\_Some_Path\ONE TW
+O Three Path1';

my $ftp_dir0 = "\Folder\Somefolder";
my $ftp_dir1 = "ONE TWO Three";

print "CWD to: $ftp_dir0\n";
$ftp->cwd($ftp_dir0) or die "Can't go to $ftp_dir0: $!";

print "CWD to: $ftp_dir1\n";
$ftp->cwd($ftp_dir1) or die "Can't go to $ftp_dir1: $!";
[download]

I get error message: Can't go to 'ONE TWO Three': at ...etc.

I tryed with:

my $ftp_dir1 = "\"ONE TWO Three\"";
my $ftp_dir1 = 'ONE TWO Three';
my $ftp_dir1 = '"ONE TWO Three"';
my $ftp_dir1 = "ONE\ TWO\ Three";
$ftp->cwd('ONE TWO Three') or die "Can't go to $ftp_dir1: $!";

...and some others variants

But nothing is worked. Can you help me with this?

In your code try `CD` in place of `CWD`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you sure you shouldn't be using forward slashes (`/`) instead of backward slashes (`\`)? Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If this is till a problem, please turn on debug mode for FTP: `my $f = Net::FTP->new("ftp.xxxx.com", Debug=>1);` [download] or print the response after each call: `say $f->message;` [download] this will help us help you.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If it is Microsoft, How about "One TW~1" ? like "Progra~1" works on windows instead of "Program Files"?	[reply]

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately it also doesn't work for me. I really don't understand what happening. When i try perform the same commands in cli like: `ftp> cd "/Folder/Somefolder/ONE TWO Three/_Some_Path/ONE TWO Three Pat +h1"` [download] everything is ok. directory is changing. But execution the same commands through script doesn't work.	[reply] [d/l]

Do you see something when you set Debug level higher? `$ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name", Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $@";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
