    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/
