BUT you wrap multiple layers of command line, parameter, and alias together and tried to do this with 'one set/level of quotes'. This can not work, and you need to sort out, what is in which string/command/alias and in which order it will be defined and used. Another thing is, you NEVER should run something with a password in the command line! Everybody can see, which programs run, and so read it. So first thing should be, to learn how to use 'key logins' in ssh and to put the key into an agent to keep, so there is no extra password question-program necessary. By the way - IF you simply want to predefine, that connecting to a specific host needs specific options or a different username, you can set such defaults for each host in ~/.ssh/config! But if you really need it in your mailed alias, consider: 1) in the end the whole 'alias' must be 'one string': $ alias whatever="some command with some parameters" 2) INSIDE the alias something needs quoting, so you must write the second level in a way, that it is packed inside and is not lost: $ alias whatever "echo some command \"with blank in parameter\" and more" 3) you will need to know the difference between "…" and '…': $ alias whatever="echo some command 'with blank in parameter' and more" or the other way around $ alias whatever='some command "with blank in parameter" and more' 4) your "password" is even one more layer being inside of --ssh ! So all together the following might work $ alias latite="mosh --ssh='sshpass -p \"<password>\" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no' rpoddaturi@latite" - The outside " keeps together the alias - The ' hold the -ssh contents - The \" INSIDE of " are simply kept in place May be, this explains a bit.
