Bug Description

Binary package hint: sitecopy

Running the command "sitecopy -f <mysite>", I expect a full directory listing from the remote server to be downloaded, displayed on the screen and stored in the ~/.sitecopy/<mysite> cache file.

This works for directories with normal names, but fails if the directory name has one or more spaces in it.

While spaces in file/directory names are uncommon in UN*X circles they're not illegal, so the tool should be able to support them. I'm maintaining a website that originated from a Windoze system, and it has spaces in names *everywhere*!

The failure of --fetch to download an accurate list of what's on the server means that --verify can't be used to check the server's integrity.
