“\ “ 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

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Might be client-dependent; I've regularly ran commands with spaces (e.g. ssh [email protected] ssh [email protected]) without a problem.

Yeah but at least with periods in the title tab complete will just complete the file name all the way while with a filename with spaces I have to escape the damn space with "\ " like you said. Why do more work when I don't have to?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

My shell seems to autocomplete filenames that have spaces with "\ " already.
