My problem ; i have a file containing a list of filenames, which may

I would like to execute a series of scp commands on them:

scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:foo here/
scp "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bar baz" here/
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:quux.random here/

#!/bin/sh
while IFS="

echo scp ">>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$word<<<" here/
done <<EOF
foo
bar baz
quux.random

Up at the top it reads ... I F S = " \n " ... And the >>> <<< are
just showing where that particular arg starts and stops.

I was able to get this one to work by removing the 'echo', and adding \"
in four places (see below) - granted my testing was all local. Does it
behave differently copying from remote?
