Replace space within quotes

i have an output that i receive and it looks like this:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv'

what i want to do is replace the spaces in the file names with asterisks "*".

end result should be:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily*Inventory*Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily*Inventory*Sync-en-us.csv'

i tried with this:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' | sed 's~ ~*~g'

but of course, this will replace all the spaces with asterisks. which is not what i want. i only want the spaces within the single quotes to be replaced with an asterisk.
