Hi All,

I was trying to scp a file which had spaces in its name; e.g.

This\ is\ the\ name\ of\ it.txt

But scp would fail each time saying that the name is ambiguous (or
something similar). I also tried enclosing the name in 'single', or
"double" quotes, but it wouldn't have any.

What's the right way of doing this?

Both boxen running gentoo and I was using bash shell.
