Rename and Stored procedure

Hi All,
I have been working on the following problem for more than two ws
but without any luck.
We have ftp server on windows 2003 Exchange server with IIS 6.0. There
is a DSN to connect to SQL Server 2000 databases from the FTP site.
When a file is ftped, it populates the database with file name and the
group name. Stored procedures run every minute to check whether the
database has been populated with the file information. Then it tries to
rename the file with timestamp.
When I use the rename command in the query analyzer, it can rename the
file but from the stored procedure the same code is not successful in
renaming the file.
Here is the rename portion of the code in the stored procedure.
select @.renamestring = 'rename \\W2K3\data\' + rtrim(@.oldfilename) + '
'+ rtrim(@.newfilename)
declare @.result int
declare @.querystring char(200)
EXEC @.result = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @.renamestring
here is the same in the QA to test , which renames really fine.
master..xp_cmdshell 'rename \\w2k3\data\ftp\test.txt test.sql'
I know it is hard to understand the problem looking at the portion of
the problem. But if you need I can follow-up with the complete code.
I will highly appreciate if you could help me. I have been working on
this for the last two ws.
I thank you in advance million times for your help.
Best regards,
mamunMay be there are files where the name include spaces, in these cases you hav
e
to enclose the path between double quote.
Example:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'ren "\temp\test 1.txt" test1.txt'
go
