I tried it in my zsh, with TAB-completion (means: I typed "scp
remote_host:~/Fil<tab>"), and it gives this:
scp remote_host:~/File\\\ with\\\ blanks
And, of course, it copies the file just fine :-)
Thanks guys, I'll try it next time. Just one thing: if the spaces
need to be escaped at both ends, shouldn't it have just 2 \\, why are
you showing it with 3 \\\ ?
It's escaping the first slash and the space:
'\\ \ ' -> '\ ' -> ' '
