It's parsing an FTP log file.

I have my bash script calculate the total number of bytes transferred
for any given user, but this depends on the bytes field being in one
particular position as the value is extracted by awk and put into a
variable.  If the filename has spaces, the field position changes and
the byte size calculation goes out the window.
