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?

[-] gears@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

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.

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