Hi,
If you open the Terminal and drag your folder into the Terminal window
you will see the "/volumepath/TO\ SEND/". If you do with applescript
"get POSIX path of alias volumename:TO SEND:" you will see in your
results "/volumepath/TO SEND". you will have to put "\" before the
space. "POSIX path of" will not do this for you in Applescript.
greetings bastiaan

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.
