Problem with pscp sending share names with spaces
When I try to use pscp to send a file from a unix system to a windows
share, I get 'not a directory' response. The windows share has a space
in the name. here is an example:
pscp.exe -pw xxx \\server\company\department shares\dept\file
username@unixserver:/directory/file
It is the 'department shares' space that is killing me. Any
suggestions on how to get around this (other than changing the name).
Thanks

Try putting the file name that contains the spaces in quotes.
pscp -pw xxx "\\server\company\department shares\dept\file"
username@server:/dir/file
