Dealing with spaces while scripting or in terminal is such a pain in the ass. The true dark path of horror is using spaces indeed.
“\ “ and [tab] and * are your friends. I’ve been using spaces in Unix filesystems since the early 90s with no issues. Also, using terminal fonts that•put•a•faint•dot•in•each•space•character helps.
Yeah, either put quotes around it '/like this/you can incorporate/spaces/into your paths' or /just\ escape/your\ spaces/like\ this
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.
