Yeah, either put quotes around it '/like this/you can incorporate/spaces/into your paths' or /just\ escape/your\ spaces/like\ this

This is fine for the most basic of use cases but once you start looping through file names or what have you, you have to start writing robust correct bash and nobody does that

It gets real crazy when you're sending remote commands so you have to escape the escapes so that the remote keeps them and properly escapes the space

ssh -t remote "mv /home/me/folder\\\ with \\\ spaces /home/me/downloads/

Yup, this is me with scp. Well, it would be if I didn't just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.

Does SSH require quoting commands?

[–] gears@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't for commands without spaces (i.e reboot) You might be able to escape the spaces and not use quotes, I'm not sure

Might be client-dependent; I've regularly ran commands with spaces (e.g. ssh a@a.local ssh b@b.local) without a problem.
