dbxcli get with spaces in filename

I want to `get` files that have spaces in the filename.

 

 

$ dbxcli ls /humility/_dataRawUnprocessed

/humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/RWQ raw

/humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/XYZ raw csv /humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/ABC raw pdf /humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/QWR raw csv /humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/readme.txt

But it doesn't work.

 

dbxcli get "/humility/_dataRawUnprocessed/ABC raw"
Error: path/not_file/...

 

 

I’ve tried enclosing the filename in "" and escaping the spaces with \ .


What next?
