I am trying to use svn command line to checkout a directory from my svn trunk. But this folder name has space in between them. So I am not able to checkout. I am not facing any issues with SVN GUI.

What i am trying in svn --username test--password test co http://svn-internal/repos/trunk/ABC/Monday Morning.

I am getting error like repository does not exist.What is the right way to specify directory names having spaces in command line?

Try

svn co "my repo" "local path"

Use double quotes for repo url and local path in any svn command, if you need the long path.

Putting quotations did not help me on a AIX box. I had to use ASCII space character.

Example: I'm trying to checkout "http://server.com/svn/project location"

svn checkout http://server.com/svn/project%20location
