Right, I’m sure we’ve all come across this probem before. You try use SCP to copy a file but it has spaces in the filename or directory name. Well obviously one solution is not to use spaces in filenames or directory names! But some of you lot do, so, try the following:
scp user@host:"'filename with spaces'" destination
Yes, that’s with more quotes!
" + ' + filename with spaces + ' + "
