DirDetails error with white space in directory name

Question

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and in fact new to the EdtFTP.Net component. I am testing the component in a new project I am working on. Overall the component is very logical in how its used and I really like the ability to capture all commands and responses from the FTP session.

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Where would the log file be stored?
