You don't say which version of FTP you are using under VMS but using
WIN FTP I just tried one and all you have to do is type get with no
arguments and it prompts for the local and remote file names and
doesn't seem to mind the spaces at all at that point, only minds them
if you type the file names on the same line as the 'get' command.

Try it, maybe it will work for you too...
