Share any folder or volume via Filesharing!
Authored by: solak on Nov 09, '04 11:21:51PM

Another workaround is to make a symolic link to the directory.

cd /Volumes/Macintosh HD
ln -s name\ with\ spaces _afp_name_wo_spaces

and then for the directory_path use
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/_afp_name_wo_spaces

I note that the volume name is not space-sensitive.
I also was pragmatic about it, and once it worked, I stopped experimenting, so I did not try the %20 substitution. Perhaps some other time.
