Dear all -
I am trying to download the GMT remote server data (i.e., gmt grdimage @earth_synbath) with bash script. However, the script cannot access user/xxxx xxx/.gmt/ due to xxxx xxx having space in between.
I have been searching how to change my window user file name in C drive, it seems to be a lot of work & risky. I wonder is there other ways to solve this problem? How can I specify my file path in my bash script?
Thanks a lot for all of your help!
Having spaces in file and directory names is near the top of the “Oh please, never do any of those things” 
If you have access to another directory that does not have holes in its name, you can try to set an environmental variable GMT_USERDIR to point to such a directory.
I have many directories that root directly on C:\. No risk at all and no troubles in creating them. I have a recall that maybe depending on the user account type Windows may issue a warning but that’s Win shitty talk.
yes, it was really stupid of me to not think carefully before deciding my user name. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I’ll look into that ^^
