Hey Matt,

I'm new to ssh/dropbear and i'm unable to figure out how to download
from my smartphone a file, having spaces in it's path.

I've tried (double escaping):

 $ scp -P 2222 root at 169.254.0.2:"/mnt/fat/iTunes/Blues/03_07\ Why\ My\
Baby.mp3" .

getting :
scp: /mnt/fat/iTunes/Blues/03_07\: No such file or directory
scp: Why\: No such file or directory
scp: My\: No such file or directory
scp: Baby.mp3: No such file or directory

and also :

$ scp -P 2222 root at 169.254.0.2:'/mnt/fat/iTunes/Blues/03_07\ Why\ My\
Baby.mp3' .

raises the same error.

if i escape also "\" same prob why ???

best
