How do you put files in a hdfs directory with space in the directory name?

I am trying to put a file in a HDFS directory with the directory name containing space. The following issue occurs:

Suppose hdfs directory “sub dir1” already exists. Now I tried to put a file, sub.txt in this directory using following command:

hadoop fs -put sub.txt /user/jdutt/TempTesting/output//sub\ dir1/

It doesn’t put file in “sub dir1” directory; instead it creates another directory with the name “sub%20dir1” and puts file there. How to solve this issue?
