Problem after using onedrived: Directories have quotes in name

[799]

Hello,

I have run into a (likely) major problem trying to move data from the cloud back into Qubes.

I have setup some AppVMs to sync data from onedrive to my Qubes machine.

AppVM1 connects to onedrive via onedrived.

AppVM2 offers storage capacity via sshfs to AppVM1

I have now found out that all directories which have space in its filename have been saved 'FIRSTPART SECONDPART" on the drive.

Unfortunetly I am unable to cd to those directories in the AppVM2.

Do you have any idea how I can rename them?

Stupid me, I have deleted all data from onedrive (including) the trash as I thought data has been transmitted savely, which it did but I havend tried to cd into the directories which have a ' in its name :-/

You should be able to escape the space, or use quotes:
cd "FIRSTPART SECONDPART" or cd FIRSTPART\ SECONDPART

You can rename them like this:
rename 's/ /_/g' *

Thank you, I'm totally embarassed as the single quote character is (of course!) only viewable in bash/CLI and not part of the directory.

Example:

mkdir test\ directory

ls

will show: 'test directory'

Thanks for your help.
