Description

Expected Behavior

If I transfer a file called foo.bar, and specify the remote filename as foo.bar I expect it to be transferred and named foo.bar but so far every file I've transferred has become named "foo.bar" (with the quotes)

Current Behavior

File is renamed with enclosing quotes - it shouldn't be unless specified in transfer.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Enter hostname, username, password, select file to transfer, name it on the remote system
  2. Start transfer
  3. Look on remote system and it will be present but named with enclosing quotes

Context

Just trying to send a file via SCP to a host

Your Environment

Win 10 2004 (have tried on 1909, 1903)
mRemoteNG 1.77.1.2764

Transferring to Cisco IOS XE switch, Ubuntu 20.04, Centos 8.2 - all give the same.

Research direction

Start in Tools > SSH File Transfer and reproduce the transfer against one of the listed environments, such as Ubuntu or Cisco IOS XE. Trace the SSH/SCP transfer path to identify where the remote filename gains enclosing quotes; done means a transferred foo.bar is stored remotely as foo.bar without quotes.
