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/Does SSH require quoting commands?
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 sureMight be client-dependent; I've regularly ran commands with spaces (e.g.
ssh [email protected] ssh [email protected]) without a problem.Yup, this is me with
scp. Well, it would be if I didn't just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.
