You say "overescapes", but scp is buggy at a protocol level and actually does require this double-escaping. Demonstration:
<cjwat...@riva ~>$ touch 'file with spaces' <cjwat...@sarantium ~>$ scp riva:file\ with\ spaces . scp: file: No such file or directory scp: with: No such file or directory scp: spaces: No such file or directory <cjwat...@sarantium ~>$ scp riva:file\\\ with\\\ spaces . file with spaces 100% 0 0.0KB/s 00:00 Are you quite sure that your patch is correct, in light of this? -- bash completion for scp overescapes spaces and does not correctly re-filter ("\\\ " instead of "\ ") https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482753 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
