I was SSH and attempting to transfer files though scp. The file I wanted to transfer has spaces in it. To my understanding you can use back-slashes followed by a space, for a space, or simply place quotes around the file when using it. When I transferred from host machine to remote machine there was no problem. Although, when transferring from remote machine to local, scp, recognizes the file as multiple files. I tried both using back-slashes and quotes, and there was still a problem. Thanks for the help.
