Abstract: The smash-product functor $(\text{--})\wedge{(X,x_0)}$ in the category $\underline{\mathbf{Top}}_*$ of pointed topological spaces has a right adjoint for any choice of the base point $x_0$ , if and only if the topological space $X$ is quasi-locally compact, that is, if and only if the product functor $(\text{--})\times X$ has a right adjoint in the category $\underline{\mathbf{Top}}$ of topological spaces.
