Use path with spaces in batch file using WinSCP

Question

I have created WinSCP batch file for deleting files on remote server. It's working fine, but it's not working with folder with spaces.

For example, the below batch file is working:

cd C:\Program Files\WinSCP
winscp.com /command ^
    "open sftp://user:pwd@host" ^
    "cd /home/test/Desktop/india" ^
    "rm int.txt" ^

but the below batch file is not working

cd C:\Program Files\WinSCP
winscp.com /command ^
    "open sftp://user:pwd@host" ^
    "cd /home/test/Desktop/india & nepal" ^
    "rm int.txt" ^

I am not able to delete india & nepal folder file because of space

Can any one give a solution?

The path with spaces need to be wrapped to double double-quotes:

    "cd ""/home/test/Desktop/india & nepal""" ^
