directories with spaces in name

jphey
in Acrosync for Windows
I am trying to specify that I want the system to rsync a directory like this:

c:\Users\HEY\My Documents

How do I specify files/directories with spaces in the name?

I tried surrounding it with quotation marks, but Acrosync just ignores those items.

    'Local Directory' should accept any directories with spaces.

    To specify files/directories with spaces in the include/exclude patterns, replace space with '*'; for example, 'My*Documents' (without quotes).

    Please add a way to properly specify spaces in exclusion/inclusion lists, as My*Documents will match "My Important Documents" too if I'm not mistaken, which might not be desired. Adding the ability to use a separator character other than space, like semicolon, seems a straightforward solution.

    ok.  If the pattern contains semicolons then it should be divided by semicolons.  This seems to be an easy change.
