Have tried manually escaping them as well, with the same result. The copy() function does not fail in this respect. Tested on three separate machines, and had members in the IRC channel test as well. Reproduce code: --------------- $target_path = "/path/to/share/ftp/foo blah/bc.png"; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fileName]['tmp_name'],$target_path)){ echo basename( $_FILES[$fileName]['name']) . " has been successfully uploaded.\n"; } else{ echo "Upload error!"; } Expected result: ---------------- bc.png has been successfully uploaded. Actual result: -------------- Warning: move_uploaded_file(/path/to/share/ftp/foo blah/bc.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/to/includes/doUpload.php on line 54 Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpu6A5ia' to '/path/to/share/ftp/foo blah/bc.png' in /path/to/includes/doUpload.php on line 54 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39051&edit=1
