passphrase with spaces and punctuation in .netrc not working

[manfredlotz]

This is Fedora 31 and lftp 4.9.0

If I have a passphrase like this in ~/.netrc

machine blabla.com
  login myuser
  password Many is more than one.

it doesn't work.

Is there a way to make it work? Thank you.

You can replace spaces with \040

Successfully tested with Fedora 32 and lftp 4.9.1. Thanks a lot.

But what does Next minor version mean when your suggestion works ok with 4.9.1?

I think double quotes should be also supported, I plan to implement them.

Aah, understand. Thanks.

I agree it would be good to support double quotes. Would it mean you support a double quote inside a password (aka. passphrase) as \"? If yes then it would make sense to support single quotes as well where you would accept a single quote inside a password (phrase) as \'.
