Hello,

I am using libcurl to create directories on a FTP server by using
CURLOPT_QUOTE and sending a list of MKD commands. Everything works fine, but
my quote commands fail if the directory name has an invalid character in it
such as a space or a symbol. Does curl have an escape function for this. I
noticed there is curl_easy_escape() which will URL encode a string but that
isn't what I need here.

For example I want to turn:

"MKD this dir. has invalid: characters" into "MKD this\ dir\.\ has\
invalid\:\ characters"

I also assume that different FTP servers have a slightly different set of
valid file/directory name characters. Can anyone suggest a good
cross-platform solution for escaping my MKD commands?

Thanks

Nick
