[JSch-users] Re: problem with sftp and lcd'ing to folders that contain space in the name

[Eric F. <cta...@gm...>]

I was incorrect in my previous statement that "Jsch cannot handle
directory names with spaces in them".  Rather, the problem I ran into
was that the example Sftp.java code was limiting.  The example takes
user input and places it into a vector called "cmds", which breaks up
each part of the command by spaces.  Thus, if you have lcd MyFolder
then cmds.elementAt(0) would return "lcd" where as cmds.elementAt(1)
would return "MyFolder".

The example code:
if(cmd.equals("cd") || cmd.equals("lcd")){
    if(cmds.size()<2) continue;
=09String path=3D(String)cmds.elementAt(1);
=09=09try{
=09=09//System.out.println("SFTPCLASS: "+path);
=09=09=09=09=09=09if(cmd.equals("cd")) c.cd(path);
=09=09=09=09=09=09else c.lcd(path);
=09=09=09=09=09}
=09=09=09=09=09catch(SftpException e){
=09=09=09=09=09=09System.out.println(e.message);
=09=09=09=09=09}
=09=09=09=09=09continue;
=09=09=09=09}

=09=09=09=09for(int ii=3D0; ii<i; ii++){
=09=09=09=09=09if(buf[ii]=3D=3D' '){
=09=09=09=09=09=09if(ii-s>0){ cmds.addElement(new String(buf, s, ii-s)); }
=09=09=09=09=09=09while(ii<i){if(buf[ii]!=3D' ')break; ii++;}
=09=09=09=09=09=09s=3Dii;
=09=09=09=09=09}
=09=09=09=09}
=09=09=09=09if(s<i){ cmds.addElement(new String(buf, s, i-s)); }
=09=09=09=09if(cmds.size()=3D=3D0)continue;
