doing scp from java when file has spaces in it

[Ladner, Eric (Eric.Ladner)]

Did you try this:

scp  [...options]  "/vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111/Lots of spaces
text.txt" grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads

(although, I'm surprised the one with single quotes failed).

What OS is this on?  What command line shell?  Escaping of spaces is
depending on the environment you are in, not what kind of scp binary you
use.  The first, third and fourth examples should have worked in a
Bourne shell, Korn shell or BASH (I think).

Subject: doing scp from java when file has spaces in it


Hi,

I am new to scp. I am trying to scp a file from local (m/c) to remote
through a java application running in Tomcat.

When I try to upload a file with no spaces in it, it works. But if
spaces are present (file name is : "Lots of spaces text .txt") it is not
working.

Some of the things I tried are mentioned below and they failed. 

scp  [...options]  '/vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111/Lots of spaces
text .txt' grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads 

scp  [...options]  /vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111/Lots\\ of\\
spaces\\ text\\ .txt grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads 

scp  [...options]  /vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111/Lots\ of\
spaces\ text\ .txt grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads 

scp  [...options]  /vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111/"Lots of spaces
text .txt" grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads 

scp  [...options]  /vhosts/dw02411/tmp_daemon/1020046111//"Lots of
spaces text .txt/" grt0002d at loninwebp7.uk.db.com:uploads 

Is there any other way of running the command for scp from java
application?

Thanks in advance.
