Im trying to execute copy command in EXECUTE COMMAND stage where folder name has a space in it. Actual path is like this:
//dsserver/etl/Ftp Files/dummy.txt

Error message is as follows:

cp: "//dsserver/etl/Ftp " is a directory (not copied)
cp: Files/dummy.txt: The system cannot find the path specified.

For "long filenames" with embedded spaces you need to quote the entire thing. That or switch back to the 8.3 "short name" which more than likely is:

//dsserver/etl/FtpFil~1/dummy.txt
