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.

NAME
Padre::Sync - Utility functions for handling remote Configuration Syncing DESCRIPTION
The "Padre::Sync" class contains logic for communicating with a remote Madre::Sync server. This class interacts with the Padre::Wx::Dialog::Sync class for user interface display. METHODS
"new" The constructor returns a new "Padre::Sync" object, but you should normally access it via the main Padre object: my $manager = Padre->ide->config_sync; First argument should be a Padre object. "main" A convenience method to get to the main window. "config" A convenience method to get to the config object "ua" A convenience method to get to the useragent object "register" Attempts to register a user account with the information provided on the Sync server. Parameters: a list of key value pairs to be interpreted as POST parameters Returns error string if user state is already logged in or serverside error occurs. "login" Will log in to remote Sync server using given credentials. State will be updated if login successful. "logout" If currently logged in, will log the Sync session out from the server. State will be updated. "server_delete" Given a logged in session, will attempt to delete the config currently stored on the Sync server (if one currently exists). Will fail if not logged in. "local_to_server" Given a logged in session, will attempt to place the current local config to the Sync server. "server_to_local" Given a logged in session, will replace the local config with what is stored on the server. TODO: is validation of config before replacement required? "english_status" Will return a string explaining current state of Sync dependent on $self->{state} SEE ALSO
