>Description:
     The ftp client distributed with NetBSD thankfully supports file name
     completion on files lying on the remote server. Unfortunately this
     mechanism produces incorrect results for filennames which include
     blanks -- and probably other special characters.

     Let's assume on the remote server exists a file of the name "complete
     me" and you'd want to GET it. So you'd type "GET com<tab>" and get the
     command line "get complete me" as a result. But the GET won't work,
     because the name has to be written in quotes in order to work.

     Bash remedies this problem by escaping the blanks in question with a
     backslash. I propose that this is added to the ftp client code, too.
