If you are lucky with intervening networks, you can either "quote" or 'quote'
the name, or use Please\ help\ me. Another thing you can try is to use ftpmail
(send mail to ftpmail@*******.unc.edu, with mail saying:
open teetot.acusd.edu
cd /pub/Beelzebub/Role-Playing/Shadowrun
get Shadowrun\ 2\ Errata <-- try quoting it, and other things)

None of this works for me, and I can't convince Jerry Stratton (who manages
the ftp files there), that it really doesn't work from Australia. But if
you're in the states, one of these techniques should work for you.
