Hmmm, I apologize, I thought this was about blanks in file names, but
it's not, it's about initial blanks.

I tested the server and it does handle blanks in names OK.  And so does
the unpatched sitecopy 0.16.0, EXCEPT if the file name has an initial
space.  It turns out that the file in question is " chetamula
market.jpg", not "chetamula market.jpg".  When it parsed the listing,
sitecopy must have dropped the initial space.

This does work in an ftp client:
quote MDTM public_html/jupiter/archives/images/ chetamula market.jpg
213 20050815171848

(After I deleted the troublesome file, sitecopy was able to fetch the
site, which includes lots of other files with blanks in their names,
without trouble.)

Looking back at the log that I originally sent, the initial blank
is apparent in the listing but is gone in the MDTM request.
