fix for SCP upload to Windows 11 Open SSH fails with no such file or directory error #929

[hierynomus]

Might be worthwhile adding some tests to prove that this doesn't break things

[robertpatrick]

are we waiting on something specific to review and merge this fix?  Seems like a simple fix for a critical issue...

[hierynomus]

I'm wondering why this change? There are different Escape modes, have you tried the DoubleQuote escape mode... I don't see how the refenced issue is solved, there's no tests added that provide any explanatory code on why this works... So yes, it's waitring.

I have a related issue open with lots of details but no one has bothered to offer a solution.

Bump. Please fix!

Is this something we can do in our code to work around the issue, or are you referring to how the PR should be coded?

@hierynomus one reason the current code doesn't work is that quoting command-line args with single quotes does not work in the Windows cmd shell (it does work in PowerShell).

C:\Temp>cd 'foo bar'
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Temp>cd "foo bar"

C:\Temp\foo bar>

I understand your comment about the DoubleQuote escape mode now. The problem is that it requires some refactoring because the SCPFileTransfer.upload() method I am currently using doesn’t expose this option. I will try it out but I shouldn’t be forced to use a different API to get the upload to work when the SSH server is running on Windows. If this were my code, I would want it to “just work” by default.

@BeauJBurroughs @evilC I have followed the hints given by @hierynomus and closed #929. Take a look at the code snippet at the bottom of that issue (#929 (comment)).
