scp files with spaces (chromeos)

This time extremely short article but may save your time.

From some amount of time I was starting to use chromebook laptop. I am not a windows laptop (pc laptop) entusiastic. For that reason I was looking for an alternative that would be easy to use and not ruin me.

Anyway, chromeos has linux terminal (linux in conteners). It is not perfect, but it is and it is nice to have. And to be honest, without this functionality, I would never bought this laptop.

So, backing to my point, on chromeos scp has problem with spaces in the file name. It simply doesn’t copy file and end up with error. To copy it correctly you can use the following syntax:

scp labiol@host1:"folder/file\ with\ space.txt" .

Hope it could help someone.

Have a nice chroming 🙂
