hi, ..... set filetosendpath_BEL to "cd /volumepath/TO SEND" .... do shell script "" & filetosendpath_BEL & "; curl -T " & stuff_name_BEL & " " & ftpBELTEST & "" & stuff_name_BEL & ""

how can I overrule the space between "TO SEND" BACKSLAH does not compile.... I need to overrule the space because as you can see the variable is addressed in the "do shell script"


Here's a way:

set filetosendpath_BEL to quoted form of POSIX path of alias "volumename:TO SEND:" --> "'/Volumes/volumename/TO SEND/'"

The quoted form is what you want. I chose to ask for the POSIX-style path of an alias, so that you could move the TO SEND folder and not have to update your script. You can decide if that's helpful or not.
